A Little Update

Ended up in the Emergency Room last night. Infection is back and the pain was enough to make me cry and that doesn't happen often. Still the same thing, a stubborn UTI that won't let go.
Throat is still sore. They did tests, gave me a shot of antibiotic that I can still feel, and they gave me some pain pills, which this natural woman would normally not take, but last night I was very grateful for. Sent me home with a new prescription, took another culture.
I keep imagining my bacteria as being something from Star Trek that morphs when each new antibiotic is given, fighting to hold on its existence. From now on I will think of it as met its match.

The ER was full of Swine flu patients. Its rampant around these parts.

I hope this takes care of it, finally. Thinking of you.
Oh, Patti, I hope you feel much better soon........Find the good in your recuperation, as much as you can. I am sorry that you have been having such a time kicking this bug, whatever it is, or keeps changing into.

Oh, Patty...I so feel for you. I've been in the hospital several times with UTI. The only thing that has since worked for me is CIPRO. Luckily, there's a generic out for it so it's not so expensive but it works for me.

Hope you're feeling better soon.

Praying that shot helps! I have had shots of Rocefin before and they do wonders for me. I hate hearing that you were in such pain. God give you rest, comfort, and healing. Lisa in NM

Very glad you're getting to the bottom of this. Your family don't have a huge amount of luck with kidneys do you! Hope they've hit the spot this time.

Patty, I hope you feel better soon. I'm sorry you've been dealing with this. It reminded me of one year when my third son was young, my body just went out of wack and I had UTI that morphed into all sorts of things. I think I was a month or so, and several antibiotics getting well. Wishing you wellness. Soon.
