Darn Urinary Tract

Got up this morning to go my urology appointment. Neither the radiologist nor my doctor could be certain that my stone was gone, so Thursday I am going to have another scope done. If there is anything in there, hopefully they will be able to "grab it" (my doctor's words) and then remove my stint. Dr. M is also checking to see if he knows any urologists who have returned to NOLA so he can turn me over to someone and make sure I can get regular check-ups.

Oh, and last Friday I found out that I have a UTI. Doc called in Bactram and I've been taking it twice a day. Today, the doctor's office leaves a message on my cell that the culture came back, and I have a strain of bacteria that is resistant to some antibiotics, so Dr. P wants to switch me to something else. Could I please call the office? Naturally, I got the message at 5:15.

I have started leaving some blogs on my page. So check it out if ya want. GL with the urologist. I hate those urinary tract problems, they suck!

Cranberry juice, cranberry juice, cranberry juice. And yogurt. Acidophilus is supposed to help with those nasty little bacterias.

But why am I telling a biologist this? ;)
