My onco and the infectious disease specialist who saw me in hospital think the migratory bone and or muscle pain was part of the illness that reached to a new height last week with fever to 102 and general malaise necessitating hospitalization for the routine IV antibiotics to cover the usual suspects. Had chest CT again as cough got a bit worse and was productive; it didn't show much different from the last - some nodular peribronchial thickening not pathognomonic (I love this typically high brow med word which means characteristic of ...) of any cause of lung disease or pneumonia.
The fever vanished after the first few hours, the cough got more prominent but not really any different than my usual and my arm pain gradually decreased. Blood cultures were negative, the docs presumed virus (not the flu though as they checked for that) and so went home yesterday.
Have today to rest up, help my wife clean and cook for T-day (her daughter, son-in-law and grandkids coming from upstate NY) maybe even attack the leaves if my pain stays under control ...it is a beautiful day outside....of course it could be miserable weather and still better than being in hospital ...
