OCT. 1 - THIS PAST WEEKEND, THE WORST EXPERIENCE!

http://www.captdaves.com

IT'S NOT OVER YET.

THURSDAY, 2ND PROSTATE BIOPSY. MY DAD HAD PROSTATE CANCER, I GRANDPA HAD IT TOO, SO AT 55, I'M ON ''HIGH ALERT''. 2008 WAS THE 1ST BIOPSY, NOTHING FOUND.

BY FRIDAY AT 6PM I HAD A MONSTER HEADACHE, BY 10PM I HAD A FEVER. EVERY MUSCLE IN MY BODY ACHED, NEVER SLEPT BUT A FEW MINUTES AT A TIME.

BY SATURDAY MORNING FULL BLOWN FEVER, NO SLEEP, COULDN'T WALK STRAIGHT. 

BY SUNDAY, CALLED THE V.A. EMERGENCY PHONE NUMBER, ANSWERED A BUNCH OF QUESTIONS, AND THE NURSE SAID, YOU NEED TO GET TO THE VA HOSPITAL IN GAINESVILLE (2 PLUS HRS AWAY) WITH IN 2-6 HRS. I SAID OKAY. THEN, THOUGHT HOW CAN I DRIVE FOR 2 HOURS? CALLED BACK AND SAID I'M GOING TO A HOSPITAL 10 MINUTES FROM MY HOUSE, INSTEAD!

WAS IN  ST. VINCENTS HOSPITAL FROM NOON TILL 6:30PM.  THEY FED ME INTRAVENOUSLY ALL KINDS OF PAIN MEDS AND OTHER STUFF.
FEVER WAS BREAKING WE THOUGHT. BLOOD TESTS, URINE TESTS, AND THE DOCTOR SAID, ''YOU HAVE A KIDNEY INFECTION.

MY FEVER WAS AT 102.5, AND THEN MY TEMP WENT TO 98.6, BACK TO NORMAL.  I WASN'T NO WHERE NEAR FEELING NORMAL, BUT WAS BETTER AFTER 6 HRS THERE.

I LEFT THE HOSPITAL WITH ANOTHER ANTIBIOTIC PRESCRIPTION.

BUT......ON THE WAY HOME. MY LEGS STARTED TO SHAKE, BY THE TIME I GOT HOME, FEVER WAS OVER ''SORT OF'', BUT MY WHOLE BODY WAS SHAKING, COULD HARDLY BREATH, COULD HARDLY TALK, IT WAS LIKE THE WORST CASE OF ''PARKINSON'S DISEASE YOU'D EVER SEE. I DOWNED 3 TYLENOL AND THE SHAKING WENT AWAY WITHIN A HOUR.

MY VA UROLOGIST CALL ME THIS MORNING BECAUSE HE WAS ALERTED OF MY CONDITION. HE SAID THE SHAKES WAS THE INFECTION FLOODING THROUGH MY BODY AGAIN!

IT'S MONDAY MORNING, NOW. I ACTUALLY GOT 10 HRS OF SLEEP, AND ATE SOMETHING FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 3 DAYS.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

OCTOBER, SHOULD BE A BUSY MONTH...''SHOULD BE'' ''KEY WORDS''.  OCTOBER IS A HUGE TRANSITIONAL MONTH IN NE FLORIDA. THE LENGTH OF DAY LIGHT TRIGGERS IT. THE ''MULLET RUN'' - aka: schooling of the mullet baitfish, HAS EVERY FISH EATING THEM. I'M SUPPOSED TO BE VERY BUSY.

I HAVE 3 CHARTER'S STARTING FRIDAY. HOPE ALL IS BETTER BY THEN.

I WOULDN'T WISH THE THIS PAST WEEKEND INCLUDING FRIDAY ON ANYONE. IT WAS THE WORST EXPERIENCE I'VE EVER BEEN THROUGH.

NOW, I WAIT TO SEE IF I HAVE PROSTATE CANCER, THE DOCTOR WILL CALL ME WITH THE RESULT IN A WEEK TO 10 DAYS.

I'M NOT IN A POSITION TO LOOSE DAYS ON THE WATER.
