I took the above pic last night. The sliver of moon set across the sky was just to gorgeous to not snap.
Went to see the Oncologist yesterday. Had been running a fever for a few days with no symptoms. By the time I got there I was feeling pretty poorly and my Mom said I was pale. All I know is I was hot, thirsty, and felt like I was gonna pass out.
They did some blood work and a urine on me. The urine came back with once again another bladder infection. I guess the white cell count was so high she was worried so she had me get an IV of a triple dose of a heavy duty anti-bitoic before I went home. I felt pretty weak afterwards for some reason but my Mom said I had a bit of color in my face and wasn’t as pale.
Good news I for sure don’t have any blood related cancer of any sort. So we are holding out for the fact that maybe something is wrong with me anatomically and maybe my bladder or whatever isn't where it should be anymore which is causing me to get repeated UTI’s.
My next step is to take this course of meds, and wait for the testing from the Urologist. He will be doing an x-ray of my bladder and a scope to make sure there is no blockage or nothing looking odd to cause the repeated infections.
Problem is even when I’m not having an active bladder infection my count is still high, so when I do get an infection the count goes even higher.
We’ve done about all the blood work that can be done so if all is good with the xray and scope then the next step will probably be the CT scan which I mentioned in an earlier blog I don’t want to do.
For now I’m feeling pretty poorly and weak. Like a slug on a rug. So with that I’m gonna get to bed. I was gonna be asleep over an hour ago and I’m more then ready.
