On the whole, it's very interesting. It hit at a good time with work. So I'm not missing much. Short commute. Out by five. And I get to hear stories, which I love!! Thankfully it's not a capital case. Except for waking up early (for me), and going thru security, it's been great.
(In general, going thru security is always a pain for me)
Ugh, I am sure I have a UTI or kidney infection, and I'm supposed to go with D to pick M up from St. Louis tomorrow. I feel like I have to pee all the time, but only a teeny bit comes out, my lower back and left side hurts badly, and I get shooting pains in my urethra. No pain peeing, and i haven't noticed weird smells or blood, and my thermometer is broken.
I HATE going to Urgent care, because the copay is higher than a doc visit, but my regular doctor's office has no openings right now, which isn't suprising.
If I have a UTI or kidney infection, should I woman up and make the 8 hour round-trip drive, or would that just be stupid. I've had like, one UTI and one kidney infection in my life, and they were ages ago.
My vote is for "kinda stupid"(Not in a bad way, but...)
Certainly sounds like a UTI, and I think that a roadtrip would not be my choice in that instance (assuming you don't want to travel in adult diapers).
The sticks a problem with the metal detectors, O_A? Or is it just because you look like such an obvious troublemaker? ;)
I don't know about stupid, but it certainly could be extremely painful. You'd probably be better off at home drinking water and cranberry juice.
OK -- off to UC in about 15 minutes, and if UTI/Kidney Infection, I will stay home.
Thanks all! Drinking water like mad so I can actually get a sample more than a tablespoon.
Strix, I vote with erika, Epic and Ginger.
I'd like to try Balkan tapas.
Yeah, I'm with the others, go to Urgent Care. Best case, they can put you on some antibiotics today and you might feel better by tomorrow!
Omnis, I look forward to hearing more stories when the jury duty is over, but excellent job at telling us interesting things that are not case-related!
I'd like to try Balkan tapas.
You really would!
Speaking of UTIs, it just occurred to me yesterday that I have not had even the fear of one since I took the fungus cure after my last hospitalization in 2012. I wonder if there is a connection there?
So, the urgent care doc
Refined my copay because I apparently don't have uti or kidney infection;there was apparently a ton of blood in my urine and he told me to go straight to the ER because he thinks I have a kidney stone and I need a CT scan.
which is just fantastic. Forgive any errors in this message I am on a dilaudid.
just laying here watching the Cooking Channel waiting for the CT machine to be ready. Best Friday night ever.
