So I woke up Saturday from my first infusion. I seem to feel fine. I had some visitors come see me. I sat on the sofa and spoke to each of them. One was my pastor. Everything seemed fine all day. By 4:30pm, I wasn't feeling well at all. I asked if mom had a thermometer. She didn't have a working one. I could tell I was hot and that I was getting a fever. She said go lay in bed. I got some water and went to bed. Next thing I remember it was about 6am and I was running a fever 102.5! At no point did she come and check on me to see how I was. I contacted the Fox Chase hotline. I couldn't even remember my name. They told me I needed to go to the closest ER. I sent a text to Eddie. I went to my moms room and explained that I need to go to ER now. She got dressed, got coffee and smoked a cigarette. We explained to my daughter that I had to go to the hospital. She didn't want to come. Off we went. Eddie said he would meet us there.
Upon arrival to Cooper, mom dropped me off at the entrance. I sat on the bench because I was out of it. She walked me in and that was all I remember. At some point Eddie came. I was there till about 5pm. Hooked up to IVs and things. I remember waking up and my mom was gone but Eddie was still there. It was confusing as anything. Eddie drive me home and I slept away the day into Monday. I didn't go to work that next day!
