We have problems

So there have been a couple health issues that we've had

around the house lately and I decided to blog about it, just because 

I can.

So the first one happened to me (Scott) and it was one of the worst health 

ailments that I've had.

About a month ago from when this is posted, I woke in the middle of the night and 

felt like I had a bladder infection, so I was in the bathroom for a bit, hoping

to get more comfortable so that I could get some sleep 

and not have to go to the ER.

So I chilled on the can for a good two hours before

going to concern the Mamaduck about my issue, and she thought that I had a bladder

infection too, so we went to an urgent care that is

close to our house and, fortunately, because it was very early in the morning 

they could see me straight away.

 I give a urine test and the docs didn't see a trace of blood in it,

so they weren't quite sure what may be going on.

 We drove back to the house, where I stayed upstairs for a little while

before going back down to my humble abode, that was the can.

At that point I decided to bring my tablet in to the bathroom, because I was fairly sure that 

I was going to be in there for a while.

So the day passed and we took me back to the urgent care later that night

and this time they did find a trace amount of blood in my urine, so

they gave me a course of antibiotics to take for a couple days.

I took the antibiotics for a couple of days and they didn't help me at all,

so we came to the decision that we were going to take me to a hospital

that night.

And keep in mind that I have been on the the toilet for the past week through

all of this.

So we go to the hospital and it was an absolute 

madhouse, there were metal detectors, security, and it was so full of people.

We get me checked in and wait for about three hours before we go talk

with somebody about how much longer it will be before I can get seen and we

find out that there are two people in front of me that haven't been seen yet 

and ounce they are seen, it will be another hour or two before I can go

back.

So we leave, thinking that it will be better for me to be comfortable on the 

toilet than uncomfortable in a waiting room for 7 hours, and I'm glad that we did leave.

So now I had upgraded to the Bog Entertainment and Sleeping System 2000,

which was a computer sitting on two bins and a bar height chair 

with a pillow sitting on it.

And I would say that that setup was used for about a week.

Now I had gotten very good at very strange sleeping positions on the toilet, 

one of them was to lean forward onto the chair with a pillow on it

and catnap through the night.

So at some point in this month of sitting on the toilet, we were able to 

get an appointment with a specialist set up through another doctor, but we couldn't see

her for a few weeks, but that was never going to work, so we were able to 

cut the time down to a single week to go see the urologist.

We didn't wait the full week though, we actually went to another hospital to try and help,

and I was amazed to finally get some freaking help with the madness that day.

They prescribed a supplement to help with the discomfort and I've been out of the bathroom

since.

Later that week we got to the specialist and she said that she has seen

this many times in boys my age and that it will stop overtime. 

So she prescribed another medication for me to take for a week or two.

And now that I'm OK it's all peaches and kittens wrapped in rainbows for me!

So the other problem that we've had in the fam is on of the Mamaducks teeth has been giving her 

issues for a while now.

So a while ago in Germany she was flossing and she popped a filling out of one of her 

teeth and, of course, she went to an orthodontist and she got the tooth refilled, but

recently it's had some issues.

So on one of our million dentist visits, our dentist told her that the tooth was going to

split in half if they didn't do something about it so a little while later they filed most 

of the tooth down and put a large crown on it.

They said that she would be sore for roughly three days, but the pain continued for a week 

before she went back to the orthodontists.

And as it turns out, one of the hygienists left a tube, or something that they used to put 

the crown on in her gum.

So it really is no wonder that she's in so much pain.

I know this was kind of a boring one without any pics or things like that, but I just wanted to do it 

to do it.

And seeing as there aren't any pics in the post I'll console you with a cat.

  I think it's a cat, at least.
