Last Tuesday I was so sick that I could not stand up.  WWWendy called my oncologist and called 911 on her instructions.  They has to haul me out of here on a gurney.  My chemo knocked out my immune system and I picked up an infection.  The resulting Republicosis was so severe that I was pumping out fluids faster than I could rehydrate.  I became so dehydrated that I ended up in Intensive Care, where they pumped fluids into me through my port and two other IVs.  On Wednesday night, they released me from Intensive Care, but kept pumping we full of Ringers Lactate and Antibiotics.  They never did identify the bug, but after my white blood count returned to normal, they released me yesterday afternoon with three more antibiotics.  Obviously, we\u2019ll need to make some changes in my chemo.  WWWendy is going in with me Tuesday.  JD, would you do Bill Maher?  Tomorrow is a WWWendy day, so please expect only a Personal Update.<\/font><\/p>\n
