Emergency Room: The Ongoing… Are You KIDDING?!
Guess where I was last Saturday?
Yeah, really.
After I suffered through a round of fierce chills and fever Friday, Wolf took my to the ER on Saturday morning. They measured my temperature at 102.7.
So I got IV fluids and antibiotics while they ran the labs.
They even let me take my IV pole out into the lobby to nurse R.T. in the middle. Maybe my last fiasco there actually had an impact on policy…
The test came back showing an acute kidney infection. Suriprise! Er, not.
So I got a prescription for antibiotics and came home. (And had to put together a bog carnival for Tuesday! LOL)
This alsao meant that the Lithotripsy (for kidney stone breaking up) that was scheduled for Monday had to be cancelled, since they don’t want to do it when you’re sick. Which is frustratingly circular, since we’re doing it to correct the reason I keep getting sick…
Well, hopefully at least this course of medication means that I will be able to have the Cystoscopy done on the 30th. I haven’t heard yet when we can try the Lithotripsy again - the machine is only there once a month!
Sometimes I wonder if I will ever be well…

Ouch…kidney stones are SO painful. My dad had kidney stones and he’s pretty tough. That was one time where I knew he was suffering. Hope you get quick relief soon!
Amazing that you had all that going on and did such a nice job with the carnival. Thanks!
