chapter , my bad.

Hello all,

It is time for another installment of "What Hurts Now?"
I went and saw this wonderful Urologist last week. Now THAT was something to write home about. I thought my GYN was invasive.. Little did I know that a urologist spends time in there. After we "bonded" I told him my whole story, ( and he didn't even fall asleep) Actually, I thought he had a lovely sense of humor. He explained that to HIM, it didn't look like anything that he could fix. That was very disappointing, then he told me he wanted me to come back next week and bring my CT films with me. He also told me my urine looked great ( I bet he tells that to ALL the girls ) . I was not surprised at this revelation, I have always had allot of pride in the beauty of my urine. So, he told me he would keep my urine and culture it to see if anything grows, ( I was thinking "whatever you want to do in your free time is up to you, darlin'" ) They called on Monday of this week to tell me I am + for a bacteria in my bladder and that they wanted to start me on Amoxicilin right away. WHAT? That's how this whole mess started, with a doctor telling me I had a bladder infection, remember where that got me? At this point, I do something very stubborn and kind of silly, I refused the antibiotic . ( why,you ask? Because the last time I was diagnosed with a bladder infection, I had NO symptoms. Then I ended up in the ER, so this time I have decided to be 1 step ahead of them. This time I have NO symptoms either. AHA. ( I feel very smart at this moment. Then on Wednesday night I began to get a very yucky suspicion that I have a bladder infection. NICE. Well, I remain stubborn and I have not called for the antibiotic, however, I see the doctor tomorrow ( really today it's almost 2 am ) and I will get the script for the medicine then. ( I will try not to beg or look pathetic). I am curious if this doctor will see anything on this Ct scan. I would love to have an actual diagnosis. I will admit though, that the pain is quite less now ( except for this awful bladder infection LOL ) We shall see what happens next. Remember folks, I am just as confused as you all are. I will not get much sleep tomorrow, ( I mean today ) because I am working all night and when I get off work I will drive home in a dazed and drowsy state, only to get my boys up, their lunches packed and their breakfast crammed down their throat ( lovingly of course ) and then, I will need to take them to school,, then...I may get an hour of sleep before I need to be ready to go to this appointment. When I get home from that, I will probably have about 2 hours before I need to pick those darling boys from school. What an exciting challenge! Then it's make dinner and be ready for "soccer-mania" . I think I need a nap just thinking about all of this. I suppose I will go make a cup of tea, and hype up. Until next time friends, take care and take notice. ( what does that mean? You tell me.)
