I can handle what is thrown my way, but my catcher's mitt is wearing out... and so is my body.

I have been having abdominal pain, loss of appetite, and a slight odd feeling sort of like nausea for a week now. I originally thought it was from the Percocet, but it was also accompanied by other womanly signs that caused me to question a little deeper if there is something going on with me.

I went to my lady's doctor today. After the exam, the diagnosis is an infection and inflammation on the left side of my reproductive parts. Left side, like everything else. My doctor said that this type of infection can be stubborn, and since this is me we are dealing with, I was prescribed three kinds of antibiotics. Two oral antibiotics for *10* days (multiple times a day), and the other antibiotic... not oral...

Unbelieveable.
For once I am at a loss for words.
Just a prayer...

Lord please strengthen my body.

    PS It does sound good to get a second opinion if it's not too difficult. I wonder if the physician who made the diagnosis has alternate possible diagnoses in mind as well.

  3. There is nothing more to say than that you are in our thoughts and prayers on a daily basis.
    One minute at a time is about all the forward we can sometimes handle.
