Hello,
Thought you'd want to know about Blackie since he hasn't been on line lately.
He had a bronchial infection & went the usual 7 days w/the anti-biotic. Early Saturday AM he had severe back pain, chills & was sweating profusely. He could barely walk but got into bed after taking a pain pill.
He was no better by 6AM so got him to emergency where he was given morphine & was running a fever. They took ex-rays but could find nothing wrong just the usual
bulging disks & arthritis damage he had over the years. Because of the lower back pain they thought it might be prostate but ruled that out too. He was admitted to the hospital & yesterday given an MRI. Turns out he has a bacterial infection in the spinal fluid.
A doctor came to see him about the options he had - like, a spinal biopsy to find out the type of germ it is, or, open his back up & drain the fluid (or whatever they do) fix the damaged discs. It was up to him. He chose the first one. As it turned out they found the type of germ it is & didn't have to do a biopsy & started treating him w/penicillin.
I talked to him this AM & he didn't know what time it was & didn't know if he'd had eaten yet or not he's so full of pain medicine. Early today the doc was in said this has to be monitored & may have to stay in the hosp. several weeks. I'll talk to his doc shortly & find out for sure what's going on.
This infection was probably caused by the infection he had in this lungs.
