I'm out...of the hospital that is...thanks to everybody. It was great to read all of the posts while I was in there; it was a looooong 5 days.

Ultimately, they never really figured out what happened.

Basically they think I threw a clot that got lodged in my trapesius muscles and caused a huge swelling on my back (literally looked like I had a head growing out of my back). I then got a 102+ fever and they thought I could start going into organ shutdown at that point.

Well, nothing ever happened aside from lots of drugs, tests, biopsies.

There was a team of 10 doctors working on me. At one point, one of the two thoracic surgeons said I had a low blood count. I told him that they took probably 40 vials of blood out of me every day. He laughed.

I'm at home now and should be back to work on Monday.

Thanks!
Rick
