Medical update...
So, I know have a swollen lower back on the left side, with a lump. Pain in both sides of my stomach (last night was bad on the right, today was bad on the left). I tried to book an appointment for my ultrasound, and the first appointment? July 17th. Yup. JULY.
So, I went down and got my blood test and urine test done (amusingly, not checking for pregnancy for like...the first time). I highly doubt it's mono, since the swollen lump on my back is more kidney related than anything, but what pisses me off is why not give me some antibiotics (erythromiacian, or however its spelled, since I'm allergic to penicillin), in case it is an infection? At this point, whatever it is is bothering my kidneys. I can't work. They sent me home twice. I can't stand, I can only lay down on my right side sometimes, and if I sit, I need hella cushions behind me because of the back pain.
Now I'm waiting for the walk-in clinic, to see what they're going to say, but there's fourteen people ahead of me, so they sent me home with a card and told me to call every half hour to see where I am on the list. Oi.
