I am feeling better. I have a extremely bad case of celluitis and a fungal infection.
Monday when I went to my regular doctor, my heart rate was kinda high (around 100) and my BP was around 130/90. By Monday night my BP had dropped to around 70/40. It is slowly coming back up.
I am getting IV fluids and IV antibiotics along with anti fungal meds. I am also going to have to wear a heart monitor for 24 hours to make sure my heart is okay.
Update 9/29.
I am still in the hospital. Hopefully tomorrow I can go home. Would have liked to have gone home by today since it's my birthday. Doctor just wanted to make sure my blood pressure and kidneys were functioning correctly. (Apparently I managed to get dehydrated on top of everything else, along with having anemia).
2 good things though:
1. I think I have broken my soda habit. Haven't had one since Monday. Not really wanting one, either.
2. My ER nurse was someone I hadn't saw in 10+ years. We were pretty close our first 2 years of college. Hadn't saw her since I went to the UALR main campus in 2006, and we eventually lost contact. Even though it took me getting sick, glad we are back in touch.
Update 9/29/17 5:53PM.
I actually ended up getting to come home today. Found out shortly after my first update. I am worn out and glad to be home. The dogs had a fit when I got here.

Hope you're fully recovered very soon.
