Yet another UTI. Plus two more visits to the doctors office.
I felt like I had the flu last week most likely from withdrawal symptoms from getting off the pain killers. I felt better on Friday only to wake up with another UTI on Saturday followed by flu like symptoms from the UTI Saturday and Sunday. I went to my family doctor that morning and got the UTI taken care of. That night I was having chest pain which I decided was just muscle. I almost went to the ER twice this weekend but decided after talking to the doctor on call that I could wait unless it worsened he felt it was not heart related and the rest was just from the UTI. What a fun week. My surgeon called on Saturday and he thinks the reason I have been dizzy is because I am anemic. So he wanted me to go have my hemoglobin checked. So I did that today and should find out tomorrow if I am anemic. I just want to feel better.
The back seems to be doing fine if I could get the rest figured out. My family doctor took chest X-Rays because of some tightness I’ve been having. That got me my first look at the screws they put in my back. Pretty wild stuff. They go clear into the spine they look like they are about two inch’s long. Well you be the judge here is a link to a picture of someone else that has the hardware.. Anyway maybe after this week I’ll get all this crap taken care of and be able to get down to some physical therapy.
Cool – I LOVE x-rays! I wish I still had the ones from my arm.
I’ll bet your back looks even more interesting!
Praying you get what you need in the way of exercise & therapy. Just remember it will be in HIS timing, not ours.
Aww, so sorry to hear about all the problems. Hopefully you will be feeling better soon and you can get down to the physical therapy.
I will be praying for you to feel better!
