Thanks for letting us know.
It's awful how these things all happen one after the other.
I'll continue to keep him in my thoughts.

Poor Phil! His fever keeps going back up into the high 103 range daily. Several antibiotics later and still not enough response. His shivering has been so severe it feels almost like seizures. He's going for a catscan today to rule out more things.
He's under the care of a good doctor and a group of interns. Hopefully they can figure out what's causing this fever to continue cycling each day.
Continued good thoughts and wishes for Phil and his worried brothers.
I've read the messages to him by phone and he was very grateful for the support.
Thank you babblers for stepping up to the plate for one of our veteran babblers. He's sure been there for many of us over the years. It is wonderful to see that kind of support returned in kind when he's in such need right now.

May these docs uncover and nip this bugger in the bud ---well, it may be a bit past bud point---but...
And after that's taken care of, may many well-deserved blessings come your way.

In reply to Social--How's Phil doing? (nm) » social, posted by floatingbridge on August 14, 2009, at 14:40:56
He was being released and a nurse came to take his temperature one more time and it was back up to 103ish again. :( Poor Phil!
He said the nurse told him to count on another night in hospital. He's darn near stir crazy from the up and down of the constant fevers.
He's had a couple visitors which have brightened the mood some and one brought his cell phone charger so he's back in touch with the world again. I know he's missing his computer connection to here and his other boads. Just as we are all missing him.
Until he's back online I'll keep reading him this thread by phone when I call him. He has expressed his thanks for all the support thus far.
((Babblers)) Thank you for being so kind to one of our own. He's such a good soul. I sure do wish medical science could figure out what's going on with him.
Thank you all for the continued good wishes.

Try to keep this brief. Took cab to ER.
Xrays..pneumonia(sounds like it, looks like it)
One 'tree full of AB's after ABs..15 bags easy.
Fever spiking from 98 to 103.9 in what seemed like a minute
4 days of this sh*t...nothing.
Take more blood X 12.
Doc asked, when did you start that large dose of Zyprexa?
5 days ago.
Bingo bitches.
50 hour half life for Zyprexa. 2 more days no fever.
6 days in hospital. no money. supposed to work Monday.
Hanging was easier.
The last 3 meds my doc gave me sent me to worlds I never knew.
He might want to consider an armed guard for our next appt.
There's nothing more dangerous than a man with nothing left to lose.
As far back as I can remember in my life, I've been a good person, a nice guy, a guy who would take more than his share of the blame if it would patch up a rift.
I do not deserve this. I've hurt no one. And nobody I know knows how to help.
Out. I'm tired.
Thanks for y'alls suport.
Phil

Enjoy your burger and fries--and the rest of your evening as a free man. Glad you're better. I have never heard of such a reaction to Zyprexa! Yikes.
be well,

He's about to get fired. The Zyprexas thing sounds weird, but what was it then and why did he start me at 15 mg?
If you read all potential SE's of Zyprexa...who knows.
I have 5 bruises on my stomach from blood thinner shots. It was a nightmare of idiot nurses, ie, one couldn't find a vein but hey! theres onein his foot. Tried to put in a cathater. I was in extreme pain and she said stop moving.
I said, as she continued shoving, why not just stab me in my f*cking forehead? I was some pissed.
Her next trick. A vein on my index finger knuckle where finger meets hand. I could feel her hitting cartledge. G*DDAMN!!!! Ow, ow, ow.
We'll send you to your 7th floor home. Nurse there, one poke in arm. Done.

fb, We'll see what doc says.
He's not a bad doctor. If anything, overly cautious.
He's had 3 strikes though, bad ones.
Anymore and I'll drop him like a cheap suit.

Phil,
I just was reading up on side-effects, looking for something like yours and the first or second thing that came up under google search for side effects was a site to contact a lawyer for a class action suit. Scam? I don't know? But what happened to you was extreme and life-threatening.
