Warning! This is not a "happy place" today!
Do you know what this is? If you guessed hospital bracelet you are right!
I realized at work last night I must have a bladder infection. I called the Dr and he gave the pharmacy where I work a prescription. I took it immediately. I soon realized I couldn't get my work done in the bathroom so I came home. By 10:45 I called my daughter (waking her up) to tell her if anyone needed me I would be at the hospital! I couldn't take anymore pain so I went to the hospital, in my pj's and robe! I only live a block away and just couldn't change. About an hour and 15 minutes later I was sent home. They gave me a magic pill that stopped the awful bladder spasms that were causing the problem.

When I have an insurance problem I go thru a union rep. I tried to get into the fibro Dr and they just couldn't find a spot for me because I'm not a regular patient. The Dr tells me to come when I can"t stand it and more. I have been on the phone with more people in the last couple days. I stayed home on my day off waiting for calls I never got......
Excuse me! I had to take a call from my urologists office. I need one more appointment with them in a month to make sure the bladder problem is okay before I have surgery in May! I go to the urologist at 7:45. my regular Dr for permission for surgery at 9:30 and get a haircut at 11:00! Sounds like a super day off!
Sorry for the ranting! I do feel 100% better today and my urine has gone from bright red to florescent orange (from medication)I hope you've had a better week than I have. Feel free to rant if you haven't!

Oh Ms jean...you need a day off from your day off! I sure hope your magic pill is still working. I hate bladder infections! ((hugs)) Rosie
I think you needed to rant! What an awful week you had. Days off are too precious to have them wasted on things like that.
I do hope everything is better and you have a nice weekend.
ahh Jean,
We all deserve to rank sometimes!
Am glad you're feeling better.

Oh Jean, you haven't had the best time of it. I'm so sorry. I mailed you a little something and you should get it tomorrow or Monday. Maybe just in time to cheer you up!!

Bladder infections are never fun! I'm glad you're feeling just a bit better and hope the healing rapidly continues.

I am completely sympathetic, I have an ongoing prob with this, but 'it's not quite bad enough for surgery yet' ... which is ok. I have recurring UTI's, prob due to aging,( I'm 52!!), and stay away from sugar, and take AZO cranberry tablets , and a few other strategies. best of luck...
