Today I got admitted to the ER. It was 4am in the morning and I went to pee and I felt some pain and ignored it then at around 5 I went to pee and urinating was painful and stinging. I told my other half to go to the store and buy me a UTI test strip and also medication to lessen my pain.
Well I stop taking antibiotics 2 days before and thought I'd stop my dizzy spells and heal better but that was not the case. So I ended up going to the bathroom a third time and that's when my urine turned dark orange almost blood coming out, dipped a test strip in the urine and found out I had nitrite UTI.
When I got to the hospital, told them my reason for my visit as well as we as my recent srs surgery and so the doctor checked my healing on my vagina and said the healing is doing well and also found out that my white blood count was higher than normal and that's what scared the doctors and prevented me from going home.
As I lay here overnight, I thought to myself to be more careful and I thought I could wait till Tuesday to see first gynecologist visit but the nurse said it might be better to see the doctor and get my uti treated right away or else I might risk having the infection travel to my kidneys and do permanent damage.
Tomorrow I get to go home and they'll give me a new antibiotic that would cover both the previous antibiotics that my surgeon gave me and at the same time heal up my uti.
They did a catscan to see if perhaps there's an abscess inside my vagina and also see if my white blood count goes down so I have to wait till tomorrow for the results to come in. And so here I am in the ER.
IT'S IMPORTANT TO TAKE YOUR ANTIBIOTICS! But urinary tract infections are very common for women so be sure you get checked or go to the doctors ASAP once you feel that burning pain at the end of urinating...
