This last friday night as Taylor and I were hanging out and watching TV at around 9:30pm, my low back suddenly started to hurt and I started feeling icky really quicky. It was a strange pain tho in that it was more of a burning pain than an achy muscle pain. By 11:30 I was in tears while Taylor was unconsious in bed. The pain, especially in my right kidney was so intense that I could hardly stand it. I red up online about kidney stones and decided to try pain killers first. That helped me sleep a little but by 9am the pain was back with a vengance. Called my boss, he said go to urgent care, I think you have a kidney infection.
Two hours later, after a U.A...Ta da!!! Congratulations, you have a raging kidney and bladder infection. So fun. Here's some Levoquin and Percocet. Go home and rest (and I mean rest young lady), drink LOTS and LOTS of fluids and come back on Monday.
Monday: Follow up, feeling quite a bit better, pretty much slept the whole weekend away. (Hey, Dr.'s orders) Dr. says "I am writing you a note for work. I want you to get more rest. You can go back to work Wednesday unless you feel MUCH better by Tuesday." Note: I have NEVER had a Dr. tell me he didn't want me to go to work, and to go home and get more rest, unless I had just had surgery. I guess they don't mess around when it comes to kidney infections cause your kidneys can fail if untreated and then you get a fun filled lifetime of dialisis. NO THANK YOU. I will follow the Dr.'s orders.
Best weekend ever....NOT
