I feel kinda crummy. I'm not normally one to whine and complain about little aches and pains, and maybe this borders the too-much-information category. But I do request your prayers as I have a kidney infection. This is not an enjoyable thing, as you can imagine. Sunday was a trip to Urgent Care. This morning was a followup with my doctor, who actually figured out my problem unlike Urgent Care dude. Now that I have been properly diagnosed (finally) and received appropriate medication (finally), I am hoping I am on the road to perfect health.
What's interesting is that all these little things - discomforts, twinges, weaknesses - I had before this kidney infection took over my life now seem like walks in the park! I can't tell you how many times I have said to myself - you complained about _______ and now wouldn't you give anything to go back to that!
Anyway, I do request your prayers over the next weeks. There is some risk for preterm labor when it comes to kidney infections and I would really like Baby to bake a while longer. Also, if the new strong medicine I got this morning doesn't kick this infection, I will have to be hospitalized to receive an IV of even stronger meds. I'd really like to avoid that if at all possible.
I guess this is my body's way of telling me that I need to slow down. I didn't really think I was going that fast, but I suppose it is time to stop doing some of the stuff I swore I would be able to do no matter what. This could be really hard for me, but the acrobat in my tummy is definitely worth it!
