3-1~

Since Friday,

 I have been really quiet.

Trying to take care of myself.

By Saturday night I couldn't

stand the pain any more.

I went to the ER.

 After many 

hours of being left alone in a room,

the "brilliant" Dr. came back 

 to tell me that he thought it 

was a virus & here are some meds,

 come back if the condition gets worse...

Hmmm,

I walked into the ER with a temp of 105,

doubled over in pain 

& 

very dehydrated.

How much worse exactly do I have 

to get to come back?!?

In the time that I was there 

the only thing he did was order

a urine test to make sure I wasn't

pregnant...

Walking in, I could tell him I 

wasn't,

but how could I know that 

as a mere mortal?!?

Grrr...

Anyways,

after being given medication

for symptoms that I didn't have.

I came back to the apt & stayed 

curled up until this morning.

After a whole day wasted in the

ER once again.

I Actually had a competent

Dr. this time.

 He gave me a real exam,

blood test & once again urine,

then off to X-Ray.

Got back & was hooked up to 

a rather fast dripping IV.

3 bags of fluid later...

Come to find out I have 

a really bad Kidney Infection.

I could complain,

but what is the point.

Bottom line is,

you have to be your own 

health advocate.

If you feel one Dr. isn't 

listening or treating you properly,

seek the advice of another.

After all, 

it is your body.
