April 7, 2009 - Horrible Day..ugh

Ferd and Sean left for camp, but I decided not to go to camp where I could not clean myself properly. Well, about 3 hours after they left I started having sharp, extremely painful pains in my lower back, much sharper than my normal helath problems. Then i started feeling dizzy and extreme pressure in my lower abdomen. I was outside hanging laundry so I made it back upstairs to the house. Then, I felt like someone had stuck a hose in me and filled me up with water. I felt like I woudl burst. So I ran to pee, only a little came out and WOW it hurt like crazy. Severe pressure and burning.... Yep, I knew I had an UTI. This is not my first one...they started the same time my Endo did...
It was so intense and every 3-4 minutes I had to pee, only there was no more pee and only blood was coming out. I called Ferd and he was already at the camp, 3 hours away. I was in so much pain and feeling faint. I didnt know what to do... I had no one to turn to. None of our members have cars. and I was crying and bleeding so bad, i really didnt want them to see me like that. So, I practically drug myelf to our car and drove myself all the way to the hospital. I was borderline fainting, so it was just the grace of God that I made it. I had to check myself into that nasty place and try to keep going to the bathroom. Here I am in this filthy bathroom, with an inch of sewer water on the floor , my pants are soaked, Im trying to pee, but getting mostly blood... There is no toilet paper in this culture so Im trying to clean myslef with a small pail of water. Im so dizzy from the extreme pain and heat ( over 100 degrees here). Well, I sat there and and waited for the results of my urinalysis and just cried liike a baby. I missed my mom, I was so scared. I began praying and it was like a bolt of lightning came down and the Lord just picked me up and gave me an added strength that I didnt know I had in me. My report came back showing a severe bacterial infection . My PUS count, which should be 3-4 was over 50. She is worried about my kidneys, so wants me to come back on Saturday after I finish the antibiotics. Im doing some better now. The meds are kicking in and I dont have the extreme pain anymore, just pressure and weakness. I just couldnt beieve the timing...Ferd and Sean only go camping with the youth group once a year. Its the only time Im alone here and BOOM..this was a nightmare, let me tell you. Im just glad I speak the language, and that I had the Lord with me.
