My body is an old Ford

I have been having some pain...imagine that! It keeps getting worse. Saturday I left our Bishop's BBQ...limping. I figured that I must be doing too much and it was the weekend anyway so my hands were tied. Sunday I was still feeling bad so I decided to go ahead and call the doctor on Monday. Which one, you may ask? Good question! I currently have 5. I started running a fever today and had decided to start with Internal Medicine because I obviously have an infection. I also called the surgeon because I am only 2 1/2 weeks post-op and he would probably want to know if I was having problems.
Back track a few hours. I woke up this morning feeling okay. I called and got appointments with both doctors. Right at 10 AM a wave of pain hit me in my lower left abdomen. Funny place for pain because it is nowhere near my incision or where my large and small intestine were sewn together. I was still in my underwear and thank goodness was wearing a bathrobe. I took a Loratab and laid down in bed, waiting for the pain to go away. It just got worse and worse. It felt like something in there was being stabbed and if I moved it would explode. I started to cry and I NEVER cry when I feel pain. I called Quinn (my father in law) and he and Brandon (brother in law) came over, gave me a blessing and helped with the kids. I couldn't get out of bed and they had to give me a blessing while I was in bed. At 11AM I took another Loratab and a little while later I was able to get up and get a shower.
I went to see my surgeon and he was stumped as to my pain. He was upset that I took two Loratab but I told him one wasn't working and, HELLO, I needed to get out of bed to get to his office. He ordered a CT scan "just in case" but really didn't seem like he believed I was in that much pain.
I then went to my internal med doc. He did an examination and asked for a urine sample. What came out of me looked nothing like urine. I was quite surprised myself. He thinks I may have a UTI, possible kidney infection and kidney stones. He was wondering how I was still walking around. I called my surgeon to let him know I am not a drug addict. I am in serious pain.
Anyway, I will go in for a CT scan tomorrow, my urine and blood samples have been shipped off and I am calling my urologist. As much as I like my internal med doc I want my urologist on top of this. I already am missing half my large intestine and would really like to keep both kidneys! ;)
Hopefully, very soon, I can have a day where I feel well. I am so tired of being sick. Wish me luck!
