The night we returned from our St George trip
I was having pain in my stomache area.
To make a long story short...
I ended up in the ER with pyelonephritis,
a severe (and extremely painful) kidney infection.
It was the result of a UTI gone bad.
Apparently I had a UTI while in St George
and it wasn't until I got home and got diagnosed with pyelonephritis
that I realized all the symptoms I did have.
Duh!!
After several days of the ER and doctors visits for shots
I wasn't getting any better.
So I went back to the hospital for a CT scan and found.....
KIDNEY STONES.
Joy!
They say that pyelonephritis and kidney stones
are about the two most painful things people get.
I had the both.
At the same time.
Luckily, we have great family and friends
who helped take care of us
And I passed my kidney stones
and all is back to normal.
Cross your fingers I don't get any more
and PRAY you never have to have them.
**Update: Infection is not gone.
Another round of antibiotics hopefully will help save me.
