State of health:  Indifferent

The fevers continue, seesawing up and down from below normal (98.0°) to not normal at all (101.7°).  However, after a urinalysis and a string of supplemental antibiotics over the weekend and a blood culture today, the urologist concluded:

I’ve got flu.

Or something like it, anyhow.  I have no elevated white-cell count, little bacterial flora of any kind, normal chemistry.  Nothing there would add up to any kind of procedure-related infection.  And in my last conversation with the nurse this afternoon, she ended with “well yeah, there is this flu-ish thing going round, so it’s very likely you have it.”  In which case, there’s nothing to do but push fluids, treat the fever and myalgia symptomatically with NSAIDs, and wait for the bug to get tired and go away.
