section7mfu | I"m home...

Thank you everyone for your kind comments, thoughts, vibes and prayers! They're very much appreciated!

I came home last night, exhausted. After seeing to the kitties (who were very happy to see me) I fell asleep on the sofa and woke up at 11 am this morning.

Basically what happened was that I had a sudden onset of severe pain in my left abdomen late Wednesday. Figured I'd go to the doctor in the morning. Pain only got worse and by 3 am I decided to go to the ER.

I quickly packed a little bag ( just in case), fed the cats, set up an extra litter box and then drove myself to the hospital (it's nearby)

Was diagnosed with a UTI and single kidney stone late afternoon and once in the ER they discovered that I had a massive kidney infection that was life threatening. So they had to take care of the infections first. The infections were caused by a single 8mm kidney stone blocking the urethra, a stint was put in to prevent the blockage.

Was told if I'd waited much longer, then I would have been in big trouble.

So now I have to have a second procedure to remove the stint and the kidney stone within the next two weeks. Oh joy.

Taking it easy right now, ordered not to do any lifting. I have to drink 2 liters of water per day. Am on a potent antibiotcs, along with my regular meds.

Again, thank you ALL!
