Hamtaro Doll anatomy...
Many years ago, my doctors were concerned because my white blood cell count was high. After a few more tests, someone thought to look at my red blood cell count and found it was high, too. I was told that my blood cells were unusually small, so I had more blood cells to make up for it.
Now I'm being told my kidneys are unusually small. Sadly, I don't have more kidneys to make up for it. Actually, my right one is "strangely" small, according to the doctor. My left one is significantly larger, but still not normal size. I'm wondering if it's actually also strangely small but currently inflamed for some reason and that's why I have this pain in my side. No signs of abscess or large stones to account for the pain. Could still be really tiny kidney stones. CT scan and more tests coming.
I feel bad, though. I'd always blamed my poor bladder for my having to pee every five minutes. It's apparently the only non-hamtaro part in that damn system.
I'm really tired of my side hurting, and hoping it's just something stupid, small and weird that can be easily addressed.
