Kidney stones, UTI, flu, Aunt Flo -- Now I just want a little pity.

[Sahamamama]

We spent Monday night in the ER.

 

EIGHT HOURS. Enter waiting room at 9:30 pm to 12:30 am. Get put in a room for an hour. See the ONE doctor who is there for 2 minutes. Wait one hour. CAT scan. Wait two hours. See doctor for 2 more minutes. Wait one hour. Go home. Sleep for two hours. Start Tuesday.

 

We functioned fairly well yesterday, husband to work and the girls and I did school (yes, we did). I actually felt better, since the stone(s) had passed. I'm on an antibiotic for the UTI and Toradol for any pain.

 

Yesterday, Aunt Flo stopped by for a visit.

 

Last night, I think I got the flu. Chills, fever, profound nausea, and "painful skin" all night. :ack2:

 

This morning, I could not function. Hubby is at work since 5 am, can't come home, and my darling mother came over to get the girls.

 

I slept for an hour. Drank ginger ale. Ate a cookie. So far, it's staying down.

 

I just want some pity. Say something sweet, LOL. :nopity:

 

:lol:

You poor thing.

You need a bubble bath and a good movie. :)

[Guest inoubliable]

You've had a rough time of it! :grouphug: I hope you feel better soon!

[1bassoon]

Ohhhhhh, honey.

 

:grouphug:

 

Sending all the sympathy and warm thoughts I can muster.

[Night Elf]

You do deserve some attention! :grouphug: Feel better!

[PrincessMommy]

Goodness! You're a totally allowed to vent or feel sorry for yourself. :grouphug: :grouphug:

[TammyinTN]

That just stinks! :grouphug: Hope you will be feeling better in no time. :grouphug:

[Elinor Everywhere]

Oh my, you certainly deserve some pity!! :grouphug: Hang in there....and this too, shall pass (no pun intended :D )

[Sahamamama]

Thanks for the pity! :)

 

It turns out I do NOT have the flu -- no respiratory symptoms. My symptoms -- chills, fever, nausea, sweats, painful skin, sore muscles, weakness -- were all the result of the UTI. Go figure.

 

The fever finally broke last night, and I'm feeling better today. Weak, a bit dizzy at times, still not eating anything except crackers and grape juice (communion, LOL), but better.

I know. Isn't that awful?

 

hope you feel better soon. Thank your lucky stars that you have a relative close enough to help. I don't. It stinks.

Yes, I am blessed. My father (80) went out and got my prescriptions. My mother (76) watched the girls all day, after she had stayed with them on Monday night while we were at the ER until 6 am.

 

I know it. Thanks for the reminder.

 

And, I hope and pray that someone in your life now will develop into that kind of support system.

From someone who has BTDT (all the way down to the Aunt Flo and and kidney infection at the same time!), :grouphug: to you. I'm sorry that anyone has to deal with it.
