Trade In

Tuesday afternoon I was sitting at work and really quickly felt very feverish and had a strong backache on my right side. Seriously, one minute I am fine having a conversation etc... and within a few minutes I feel horrible. Unfortunately, I have had too much experience with these symptoms and I knew exactly what it was. I had a kidney infection. No warning, boom and there it is. I left work early that day and went home, laid on the heating pad and contemplated the thought of going to the Instacare which is a whole bunch more $$$$ than waiting until the morning and paying for an office visit.

So I took some pain pills, slept on the heating pad and then headed to the Dr. in the morning. Yep, sure enough I had once again diagnosed myself correctly. The Dr's always seem so surprised that I am right. By now, they should just call in the Levaquin and save me the $$$$ for the office visit and let me put the letters MD behind my name.

I have been on the Levaquin now 24 hours and I am feeling much better. Fever gone, backache still lingering but that will go away soon. They want me to see a specialist again, yeah, yeah yeah.

I am ready to trade in my old, defective, sickly kidney for a shiny new one... right off the kidney lot. What's the blue book on a used, highly ineffecient kidney these days?
