I Think I'll Live!!!

HAPPY LATE 4th (I'll live mine vicariously thru yours)
Went back to the hospital today(THE HOSPITAL of MY CHOICE THIS TIME).Got good news...Bad news.
The good news is...no fever anymore after THIS many days of it,at U.T. I was put on an IV drip cuz I am dehydrated.Shoulda known after 8 days of no eating and very little drinking,running temps from 99.9 to 104.5.Fluxuating.So I'm getting hydration back.Discovered the enemia....that's getting treated.
Bad news....found out that not only do I have a 5 millimeter kidney stone.But I have ANOTHER 8 millimeter stone in the OTHER kidney.The 5 has slipped down in the danger zone,so a followup/removal is a must.To top it off the doctor says that your infection ZT's are measured from a 1 to 500.....my ZT's topped the charts so far over 500,they couldn't believe it!
My point is THIS!!! I KNEW as I was being drove to Mother Francis Hospital while projectile vomiting...that I was heading to the wrong hospital.God knows I couldn't have been more right.
This makes the 3rd time that hospital has failed me!! ALL they did was go by my shreeks and yelling while freezing from fever from the concrete floor,saying "kidney stone maybe(barf)kidney stone I think,PLEASE HELP ME!(barf)"!!
SEVERAL hours later after hours of screaming let me die,they injected morphene twice which didn't hardly do shit for pain.
Thank God I had sense enough to go to the University of Texas at Tyler.
Thanks for hangin' with me through this.
