    Default Sick with UTI

    For the past 3 years I've struggled with recurring UTI's due to an unrelated condition. I had been hoping to avoid one post-op, but noooope. Urine started getting cloudy earlier this week, but that is my norm / baseline. My urologist and I agreed long ago that we would only treat if it became symptomatic. Well, last night I started having symptoms and emailed my doc as soon as I woke up and started antibiotics in the late afternoon (yes, my sleeve doc knows). Then this evening, the fever started. It is low grade, but if it is still there in the morning, my docs will all be getting wake up calls (or I will go to the ER overnight if it gets worse). Yuck. Ugh. This stinks and I am supposed to go back to work on Monday. Sigh. This stinks.

    I hope you get over this one quickly. I have the same kind of thing and I have noticed since sleeve the best way to know I have one is that I get so cold I have to go lay under like 4 blankets which instantly puts me to sleep. I don't know if you noticed the whole being cold thing yet but I am freezing all the time but its when it makes me sleep along with getting cold i know something is up

    Fever appears to be back to normal this morning, thank God. Hopefully it will stay where it is supposed to! Ace, I totally had the chills along with the fever last night...and the body aches. One funny moment was that my cat, who is getting a bit older, likes to be cozy and sometimes will sleep with me under the covers. Last night he did that, but a few minutes later, he gave me a look and extracted himself from under the covers and lay on top of them. I think he got a little TOO warm under there with my feverish body!

    I am going to lay low today and hope that things continue to approve. I hope so because the last thing I want to do is to go to the ER!
