I considered posting this all almost 2 weeks ago when it started, but was still in denial. Lol….
I woke up one day with a fever of over 103 and back spasms so strong that I couldn’t even sit up. Hmmm… gee, I think something is wrong here! I was perfectly fine when I went to bed the night before. After a visit to the Dr., it was found that I had a bladder AND kidney infection. He wanted to immediately send me to the hospital for IV fluids and antibiotics because it was so far advanced. When I explained Gavin and Shealyn… and how I would be alone and stressed to the max if in the hospital, he agreed to let me go home as long as I would take an injection and promise to return in 24 hours. I was basically an invalid and stuck in one position on the couch for another 48 hours or so. Louie and Dad took care of the kids and house. Thank God for help! =) the symptoms of the infection were the same as several things you go through anyway soon after childbirth, so I had no idea there was anything wrong until the fever and pain showed up.
I have slowly improved over the past 2 weeks and will return on Wednesday for a follow-up. He’s worried I may actually have kidney stones as well since I’m still having back pain from time to time. Cross your fingers for me!! Passing kidney stones is apparently ranked up there with Gallstone or Childbirth pain… two things I have already gone through and did NOT plan on ever doing again! Lol
