Sick and Tired of being sick and tired

Well as of today I have been down with a kidney infection for about 5 days. This has seriously been one of the most NON fun and exciting experiences of my life! My lower back had starting hurting early last week, My and my amazing abilities of rationalization had me thinking it was just me standing funky while at work. Well Saturday Morning I woke up with a low blood sugar of 46 (regular blood sugar levels should be 70-120) so I was all sorts of tired and felt like crud and yet again rationalized it away as the "low blood sugar took a lot out of me". Then later on in the day all I wanted to do was sleep, and so I took a nap. The day progressed I had no appetite and if I took the blankets off of myself I would shake uncontrollably. And then I rationalized that I was getting sick, but it must just be a 24 hour bug. Woke up Sunday morning and felt like crud, I hurt ALL over, had a headache, and was nauseous. Michael got home and asked what we thought we should do, I said go to the doctor. He was all set wanted to take me right away but I refused and made him let me take a shower :) Yeah I know I'm smart. . .

Well long story short I went to the doctor, gave a urine sample, and was offer a script for antibiotics and some heavy duty pain killers. I took the antibiotics but refused the pain killers, the Doc asked me if I was sure 4 times, but I still refuse. Regardless to say . . .Bad mistake Kidney Infections FLIPPIN' HURT!!

But I am feeling better now :) Still a little woozy, but I am on the mend. It only took 5 days of bed rest, 3 sick days from work, and lots and lots of sprite and water :)

Needless to say I have learned my lesson, and will hopefully be smarter from it haha

Love you all
Kat ;)
