I went back to the Dr. yesterday, my PCP whom I love! When I called to make the appointment, they got my records from Hilcrest from last Saturday. Apparently, there lab's said i had no infection, but a super high amount of blood in my urine. I'm kind of confused what that means, but Dr. Rhody says that I could still have an infection, just not the type they tested for, and it already be so bad I am bleeding internally. Or, I could have kidney stones that are scraping away at my kidney's and bladder. So I went to St. John's lab last night (open 24 hours so I didn't have to drag the kids down there with me, Yay!)and they are going to do another test to see what kind of infection, what antibiotics it is responding to, and if not we rule that out, and we will do more testing for kidney stones afterwards. Should hear back from them about all that today.
Only my kidneys don't hurt. Can you have bladder stones? I guess it is painful enough at times to be that, or what the pain from that feels like, as I have never had them before. But my kidney's haven't hurt at all.
So I got a stronger antibiotic, and she also gave me some Lortabs for the pain. I am trying not to take the Lortabs that often, I hate being on drugs, but I also hate hurting so bad I can't stand up to cook dinner.
Oh, and I figured out what was up with my midwife too. She is out of town at a conference, when I was texting her she had to keep going out of the conference room, that's why she had been so distracted. She apologized, and all is well :)
