Hi again all!
As if the beginning of the week wasn't fun enough, I got admitted to the hospital again--the antibiotics for the pyelo apparently weren't doing their job. I'm out of the hospital now, and this has to be the longest flare I have experienced to date. The bright spot in all of this is that one of the general surgeons I work with (I work in a clinic with general surgery, plastics, ENT and urology) advocated for me and jumped on the urologists to do something definitive ASAP. The pain has been horrific(I think Freddy Krueger has taken up residence in my pelvic and flank regions). I am already back ar work because I am afraid that if I don't gut it out I will be fired. On top of that, my husband is going to Iraq for a year. I do have a couple more questions for you guys if you don't mind, How often do you get hydro's done? It worked really well for me the last time and wonder if there is a standard time frame in between. My other question is how to address family regarding pain control and the actual disease itself. My husband thinks narcotics should never be used and that I'm wimpy when I take them. He won't attend any appointments with me, and gets extremely upset when things are bad. I usually get the line "ok, what kind of drama is it this time" Sorry I've been rambling but I know everyone on the boards have a wealth of varied experiences and are great resources. banghead
