UTI/Stone/ Kidney Update

 I am not sure who

reads all this mess, or 

if you even care about this 

crap but here is another update

on the kidney/UTIs/stones.

Hell, at this point I am not even

sure where I left off with 

this...

I think the last was last week

when I went to Kroger.

The culture showed cells

in the urine, but less than 10,000,

means no UTI.

You got it, I had less than that

amount. 

Thoughts are that it was just

a slight infection that just

came up with the removal of 

the stent. But I have finished a 

five day round of meds for that.

The issue still remained of

not being able to hold the bladder.

If you don't care to know that

I am still wearing absorbent panties

then you might want to skip down some.

Haha

Let me tell you how this feels

if you have never experienced it..

your kidney 

releases the urine,

it hits the bladder.

At this point the bladder

let's you know there has been

a deposit made. You usually have the

option to find the bathroom then,

or if you have a strong bladder,

hold it. 

Since May, I have felt the 

deposit made, but at the time

I feel that, it's to late.

It is like the bladder is not

closing the door,

 its stuck

open. 

So, life has been like this, I stand,

to head to the BR and it starts

flowing, full force and there is 

no stopping it.

I expected the stent removal 

at the 

first of the month would close

that door again but it did not.

Then the infection came on.

Meds for that tad infection done,

but still taking the meds for 

the bladder spasms. The spasm is 

a little pain, a squeezing like feeling 

that goes along with the door not

closing unless I take that med.

Monday consisted of the same

ole, same ole, stand and walk

while you pee.

Then last night the oddest thing

happened. I started have some

pain (while on spasm meds),

along with the squeezing feeling in 

my lower left side, and

the standing, walking process

stopped.

OH MY GOSH!

I went to bed 

but was awaken so many times

with that squeezing pain when

up to this point, I usually woke

when the bladder would allow

the deposit out and I had a warm

feeling while sleeping.

This morning I was dry, and I have

control! The bladder says go and 

I have time to go.

Lack of force and a spot

of red bright blood, but

I have control!

Where the hell does that leave me?

My thoughts, and I have sent

a note to the doc, even with the 

stent a blasted piece of stone

did not make it out, and with the

narrowing of the tube from the 

kidney to the bladder, it might be

stuck. The difference of control and 

no control makes me think that

that pieces is moving around which

affects the body in what

ever way. 

I have a CT scan scheduled for Sat.

And again, my thoughts, if there

are pockets like in the kidney,

that stone prob got stuck and did 

not make it through the stent. 

BUT, the issue here, it has to 

GO!

I am worn out, tired but being

able to have control...

amazing feeling. 

I have avoided family gatherings,

friend gatherings, shopping,

going out in general due 

to all this, I want my life back.

Having control, if something

does not change, will make

my visit with my son so 

much better!

Please, keep sending good

vibes!
