HealthI made it through today without a full nap! I had to rest for a bit, bit no actual nap. That's a first since the kidney infection really hit late Saturday. The pain is pretty small now, mostly a tightness and low ache in my right back. Keeping heat on it seems to help but trying to find a position in which I can type that is good for my

Health is a big issue. Be pushy to get follow-up secured. This sounds as if the infection resisted the first course of antibiotics. Be careful!

Went to student health. No signs of an infection anymore. Nurse practitioner I saw was thinking kidney stones to explain the continued intense pain and trying to figure out what test to send me for where (x-ray, ultrasound, ct were all mentioned). She went to check with a doctor then came back and said doctor doesn't think it sounds like stones so to just give me some pain meds, send me home, and if it gets worse over the weekend hit an e.r. or if it isn't better next week then come back to them. So not overly helpful

I hope your kidney infection responds to the treatment and clears up soon! It sounds like a nightmare.

I'll definitely be interested in your Night Manager thoughts when you have the time. :)

I love the pic of Cumberbatch with the comic! I thought the set pictures of him in costume looked fantastic too. It made me way more excited for the movie, which was just a vague future thing in my mind until I saw the pictures (I don't actually know much about Dr. Strange), but he looks pretty badass.

The kidney thing really is frustrating. Worst part ow is they're not sure what's going on anymore. The infection appears to be gone, but I'm still having major pain and other minor symptoms about which I don't really care compared to the pain. Nurse practitioner was thinking kidney stones but doctor disagreed. So I've got heavy duty pain meds now and am basically just supposed to wait and see what happens. Maybe it will get better. If it gets way worse over the weekend, I'm supposed to go to the E.R. If it doesn't get better, I'm supposed to check back in with student health next week

Oh man, that sucks that the infection seems to be gone but the pain isn't. I hope the pain meds help and they figure out what's actually going on soon.

Thank you for the comic recommendation! That's super helpful--the biggest problem I have with getting into comics is not knowing where to start. Sometimes I'll try to read one and realize that there's a ton of backstory that I haven't read and I don't know what the heck is going on! I put The Oath on my to-read list. :)
