Yes, to the doctors again!!!...
So yesterday morning at 4:00 I woke up with a horrible pain in my lower back. At first I thought, well maybe I'm ovulating. (I know what you're thinking what kind of person thinks of that first thing...it's the IF brain that's still there) As I laid in bed and tried to go back to sleep it just got worse and worse. I got out of bed and tried to get my mind off the pain. Finally I woke Jeremy up around 5:30 and showed him where my back was hurting. (It was soooo painful) He said that is where my kidneys are, do I need to go to the hospital? I do not ever want to go to another hospital!!! I know I will have to one day, and I'll have to suck it up and deal with it, but I don't want to go! I decided to wait until the doctors office opened and then go see him. In the meantime I'm looking up symptoms on the computer and figured out that it's either got to be a kidney stone, or appendicitis. Oh great. Can I ever just get better? I realize that they pumped me full of meds after I had Jake, and there may be reprecussions from that, but I just want to have a length of time where i actually feel good. The nurse on the phone says the doctor does want to see me, but they can't get me in till 9:30, and then I still may have to wait a while. Dr. C is not in today, so I have to see his P.A. We took Jakob to Jeremy's mom's house and went to the doctor's office. We sat and waited for about and hour and a half then I finally saw the doctor. He sent me down the hall for blood work and a stomach x-ray. There was no kidney stone (thank-God!) but there was sign of an infection in my urine, and where I was having pain was consistent with my appendix, so he sent some of the blood out for testing. Thankfully I am not having problems with my appendix either, I was just experiencing pain with the infection. I am on antibiotics and the pain in my back is totally gone today. Anyways, I'm still hoping and praying that one day I will be all better, and won't have to freak out at any little sign of a problem. :)

I am so glad that everything cked out healthy and you don't have to have surgery to get your appendix out!!! I know after you experience everything you did after Jakob was born..you can't help but feel the way you do! Hoping you won't have any more scares and things completely calm down! Oh and too funny about ovulating..I had a little pain in my side the other day and my stinkin IF brain said maybe I am ovulating...yeah I know...IF has made me nuts..hehe
