So I haven't written in a while and I'll explain for those few who may be reading my blog. I have an upcoming double test in Boston (endoscopy/colonoscopy) to be safe that there isn't anything else that could be adding to my chronic illness. Because I tend to fight back without meaning to when I have procedures like these done, they have to give me anesthesia. Therefore, last Thursday was a road trip with my dad up to Boston to speak with the anesthesiologist. For most people, that drive takes one and a half to two hours. For us, with needing to constantly stop for bathroom breaks, and traffic we tend to leave about 4-5 hours before any appointment at Bringham and Women's Hospital. The appointment (which was shorter than the actual wait to see someone) went very smoothly and I'm all set for April 8th.
Friday I ended up going to the doctor's right around where I lived because I had noticed on my trip Thursday I was developing a UTI. The one thing that really sucks is that I can't take antibiotics orally. So Friday morning, I went into my doctor's office and had to get two antibiotic shots in my butt. Now anyone who has ever had an antibiotic shot knows that it feels like their injecting really thick molasses into you. Its painful and can leave a decent bruise. Most of the day Friday, I couldn't sit comfortably in any chair, which made it a very long day.
I'm planning from now on that I will be much more diligent in writing my posts, this whole thing is still a bit new to me. Now, I plan on making my lists for everything I need to make sure I bring everything with me Sunday to the hotel in Boston.
