I'm still in the hospital and will be at least until Friday afternoon or Saturday morning. So far, every culture has come back negative. So today they called in the infectious disease specialist, who also doesn't think I have anything, but will try culturing more stuff and otherwise observe me. As you can see, this may take a while.
I had a very sweet and very quiet roommate this time, but they just moved me to an isolation room -- just in case I turn out to be infectious after all. I'm on the cancer ward, so there are plenty of immunocompromised folks around that need to be protected from me, apparently. My roommate's family was sad to see me go, and so was I to be moved from them. They were all very sweet and so nice to me.
Other than that, there isn't much new stuff to report. Had another fever spike overnight and woke up drenched in sweat. This morning the temperature started creeping up again. When will it all end? Who knows.
At least I finally remembered to talk to my oncologist about the vitamin B6. He said it was fine to take it, except the day before, the day of, and the day after chemo. Hopefully that will help somewhat with the bone pain and all that. I'll let you know.

Even though it's good to have an air of mystery about you, this might be taking it a bit far. Let me know if you need any entertainment (e.g., book, movie ideas, some game books) or anything like that. Being in solitary confinement in a hospital could get old fast, it seems like.
It was awesome to see you today -- the room with a view is nice!! But as 0-L says, not so much fun! We can come play board games with you...or Starman can play strange audio joke-clips on his iphone for you...(which he did for me on the way home). Mr Shnubbins might be willing to share one of his illegal wheat biskies, if that would help. We're rooting for you!!!
