Okay, I say partly cloudy - mostly sunny here at the moment.

I had a low-grade fever last night. I was up every hour, then I'd get up to pee and check my temperature. It was 99.1 around 10:30. It went up little by little and got to 100.1 around 3 am. It hovered at 99.1 until I finally got up to take a shower at 9:30 Then it was down to 97.3. I kept taking it because when the doctor comes, she's going to ask if I've had a fever. Usually, I can't say yes or no. Today I can.

My appetite is not back yet. I had maybe a fourth of a cup of yogurt with blackberry preserves in it. I still feel a little queasy about it. The smell of Woodgie's soft food nearly made me retch.

The doctor is supposed to come at 2:30. 

It was a nurse practitioner and I figured out why I've been so nauseated- I was taking one of my antibiotics 3 times a day instead of 2. That would make me sick. My blood pressure was good, my temperature was good, and I called my urologist to get an appointment to have the stent out. I feel great right now. When Steven went to Walgreens, I had him get me some Fuji water. Small splurge.
