Creepy

Isn't this gross? I didn't give enough blood so they have to try a third time. Peggy and Kathy, my nurses, did a great job, but it wasn't easy.

Whatever drug they gave me in this IV is amazing, cold, but amazing. 

I Hate Waiting Rooms

So a lot of you have been asking what's going on. Here is the scoop.

I have a severe kidney infection. It is not responsive to the antibiotics  they put me on. After some tests they concluded I needed a CT scan to determine what is wrong with me.  It would take a week at least for my primary care doctor to have one ordered since this is an out patient situation.

So I'm sitting in the Fairview emergency room, waiting to be seen by a doctor. My primary care doctor ordered blood tests, and a ct scan of both kidneys. He said it could be a kidney stone, an abcess on my kidney, an anatomical anomoly, or I could just have a faulty kidney.  They also found Ecoli in my urine and  glucose, which could be another indicator of diabetes.

Depending on what the ct scan reveals I may be spending the night in the hospital.
