Well as I am sure many of you have already seen on my facebook, I have been very ill the last week and a half. It all started with a simple bladder infection, so I went to the local clinic and got a 3 day regimen of anti biotics and told that I would be fine in a few days. After taking my first dose of meds I started throwing up and continued to throw up and be very sick and bed ridden the next 3 days as I completed the regimen. After that I thought I felt better and I went back to teaching for two days. On Wednesday night I began feeling very bad pain in my lower back side and called the nurse who told me it may be my kidneys and to go to the hospital the next morning.
Thursday I called into school to let them know what was going on, that I was going to the doctor and then would come in later to teach my kids. When I got to the ER i found out I had a temp. of 102, high blood pressure, and my bladder infection back, but this time more severe. Then I was also told that because my bladder was so inflamed my muscles around it became strained and one tore.
The doc then put me on bedrest with yet another 7 day anti biotics treatment.
Long story short I have been drinknig cranberry juice in the liters, sleeping all day, and finally beginning to restore my strength.
I am so blessed to have so many "mums" here who have been taking such good care of me, making me home-made chicken soup and making sure I have everything I need! I am missing my students alot and hope to be back to teaching this next week!!
Pray pray pray that I have finally kicked this infection out!
Oh No! Wish I were ther to give you a BIG hug --- but am so thankful the Lord has surrounded you with others to do that!! We miss you. Know that you are being loved from afar today :)
ReplyDeleteBeing sick overseas is the worst...especially when you have really just arrived! I knew about this and was praying for you, but this is my first time reading the details. Glad you are feeling better now. Miss you!
