You ain't alone,,, Bubba....

Just today,,, after driving 45 min to my Urologist for an annual dynamic test,,,, spending 30 min in the waitng room,,,, another thirty min getting transfered into this chair that looked like it was for a Gyn test,,, then getting my pants and drawers and condom cath off,,,,,,,,,,,only to be told they couldn't do the test cause when they did a swab urine check they found I had a SLIGHT uti.

They told me that it wouldn't affect the results of the test,,,, but that they were worried about me,,,,,,,,,No matter what I said they refused. Sooooo,,, after THAT wasted additional 30 min and the 15 it took me to get myself together and out of there ( it's faster once you,ve done it),,, I went to the chinese resturant two doors down and drowned my sorrows in a large bowl of hot and sour soup.

Oh,,,, did I mention it was raining and I had to park 100 yards away???? Coulda been worse, I guess,,,,,Coulda been uphill both ways.

Life goes on.

AGREED... I used to take medicine to control them because I used to get them 24/7 (not good with someone who only has one kidney). I was in and out of the ER, literally peeing BLOOD. At one point I thought my sister was going to have to donate one of her kidneys to me. For some reason over the years they have slowed down .
