Tiring weekend

On Friday night all of the sudden, at 11pm, I started to have an uncomfortable feeling when trying to go #1 (hehe) in the bathroom. At first I didn't think much of it, but after 2 hours I knew something was wrong as it got worse. I thought it was probably a urniry tract infection, but I'd never had one so I wasn't sure. So since no doctor's offices are open in the middle of the night, we decided to go to the ER. I didn't want to, but I had no other choice really. I knew I couldn't just do nothing. It was too uncomfortable. I actually called my mom for advice also about my symptoms, at like 1 am, and she and my dad were still awake so they actually came to my house(they are just 3 miles away). We are a tight family! :P They prayed for me and then also felt like I should go to the ER. So at about 1:15 am we went to the hospital! Weird! I got taken in pretty fast, Sujeet came in with me. They took my blood pressure, heart rate, temperature, etc. Then they I gave a urine sample. The results were a bladder infection(UTI), so they prescribed me an antibiotic and pyridium(soothes tract). When we left the hospital it was maybe 3:40am, and we went to CVS pharmacy to get the prescriptions filled. That only took maybe 15 minutes, so we were home around 4am. I was so tired all day Saturday from being up all night and then it was hard to sleep during the day.

But I'm doing fine. I haven't had any discomfort since starting the pyridium. I didn't have any abdominal or back pain when I went to the hospital, so maybe it hadn't gotten that bad yet. I'm not sure. I just had stinging in the urethra. I'm tired out though!

You definitely have the two best parents a woman can ever want. They truly are gifted with much love, not just for your family, but for many, many others. I have known them for a million experiences, and they are 24/7 ever willing to help. And they always come armed in prayer and the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Ray and Dolly are the greatest people in the world.
