The last several days my condition has begun to change in multiple ways. For example, loss of appetite, loss of energy, tenderness in the abdomen, etc. It culminated yesterday and last night with an afternoon bout of chills followed around 10:00PM with fever and night sweats. Still had the fever this morning, so my doctor wanted me to come in. He suspects an abdominal abscess (infection). So he gave me a shot of antibiotics along with a prescription. They took a culture from the wound nearest the tender spot on the abdomen and scheduled me for a catscan this afternoon. When the lab & scan results come back, he should know what it is and be able to treat it. I just hope the treatment doesn't involve any cutting on me.
