i am: June 2008 Archives
so i went to the doctor today to get tested and retested to be given an all clear from my pyelonephritis. i showed up, late, and was ushered back, where i was weighed, blood pressured, and heartbeat counted. all normal (for me).
i peed in a cup. for those of you who don't know me, let me tell you, i don't like doing that. it is awkward, weird, and well, that's my pee in a cup. i am slightly offended and quite put off at the concept. the day that pregnancy is an issue and i have to pee on a stick... there will be no photos of the stick. it will be put in a ziplock bag and thrown away!
i digress. as i was saying. i peed in the cup. shudder. my doctor came into the room and chatted with me. he pulled up my file (love that that crap is online now and in a system). he pulled up the file from the er. had all the info in front of him. asked me to tell him about my week. i went through it. sore on wed. uncomfortable on thurs. fri was fine and have felt fine since. didn't need the pain meds. temperature was fine by friday. and was waiting for him to tell me i was good to go.
two seconds later, the lab had messaged him the results. now, you tell me that wifi isn't AWESOME. i am clean and clear. no more infection. however, he then looked at all the info in front of him and said, "you are a medical mystery."
i asked him what he meant. and he then explained that there was no way for them to know what happened to cause it, why i got the kidney infection. he had some theories but said it could be anything and we would just never know! i think my title answers the question.

so i am not doing the ap reader thing. i am not sad about that. but i thought i would give you tips on how to get out of anything.
first, you have to get a backache about two weeks before the event. nothing to severe. it should coincide with gardening or lifting or something that will explain it.
second, the day before you are set to leave, you should have pain in your side where the back pain is. and a headache. and over the course of the day, general body aches.
third, you should start to freeze while you spike a temperature of 102.7 and in general, feel like you got hit by a bus.
fourth, have your mother take you to the er because you have a high temperature. while at the er, find out that you have a horrible kidney infection, which explains the pain, and the temp.
yep. bed rest and general all around bleck. but at least i don't have to grade.
