i'm getting over a kidney infection and strep throat...ask me anything!

[MrsBrady]

last Thursday I went to the ER about 6pm with 103 fever. It came on right away. Turns out I have a kidney infection.
I had no symptoms prior to my fever and back pain.

Also I have strep throat which came on the same time. I got spots! yea! :sarcasm:


I got home from the hospital on Sunday afternoon, and I've been in bed since then. My dear husband moved is vacation so that he could be home with me all this week. So that's good I don't have to deal with this by myself.

It sure did scare the shit out of us, but I'm on the mend. I have a follow up with my primary doctor on Friday.


I've never been this sick before, and have never had to use an ER...sure does put much of life into perspective.
I've got a lot of stress right now in my life and I think I'm as sick as I am partially due to stress. I think my new motto is going to have to be...well, whatever.

Anyway, I realized I only have two kidneys and I want to keep both of them. nothing is ever going to be more important than my health...and If I find myself stressing about whatever life situation...well, it can just fuck off. I'm going to not worry about it.

4 days in the hospital without DU was almost unbearable ;)

I love you, you weird bunch of people that I've never met. :hi:
