It all started at 9:00 pm Tuesday. At first I thought I just had a pinched nerve and applied a cool compress...no release from the pain. I got maybe 30 minutes sleep; the pain was excruciating. I was getting ready for work and couldn't even stand up straight. I decided to call my nurse neighbor and see what she thought I should do. She immediately told me it was probably serious if it kept me up and I should call my OB doctor.
I called and went in. They took my urine and ran it through a machine. It came back negative for infection. I was like..."What? I know it has to be something, if it's not my kidney's I don't know what it is." Can I just say thank God for women's intuition...the nurse knew something was going on with my kidneys so she ran the test again. This time, it was positive. I met with the doctor and she said it was a good thing I came in because if I had waited any longer they would have sent me to triage to get an i.v.
Another plus is I got to hear the heartbeat again and the baby is fine! I also felt movement last night as I tried to get comfortable on the couch with a heating pad. It felt so weird!!
So I have an infection, on antibiotics, pain killers, heating pad and have doctor's orders to stay home for the remainder of the week. I also have to make sure I don't get a fever or I'll have to go to the hospital. At this point I'm feeling much better than I did last night!!! Praise the Lord. So if you think about it, I'd appreciate your prayers. Much love peeps.
