i was diagnosed with urethritis at the hospital last night. got medicines
hi angel friends, i want to thank you all, for your comforting prayers, warm well wishes, and support. it means the world to me. i was at the hospital last evening, and night. about an hour after i posted my journal, i noticed some very worrysome swelling. i told Holly, and my parents, i said, "i'm not ok". they rushed me to urgent care (next to the dollar tree). i told them my symptoms,and they told me it be best to go to the er. we went to the er, i was panicking, very worried, and extremely anxious. i was worried about a blood clot, or something seriously wrong with my bladder. my mom, Holly and i went into the er at backus hospital, and i checked in. i thankfully was called in, about 10 mins later. they did a weight check, and blood pressure (it was very high, most likely due to my worrying). i was taken into a separate room, Holly stayed with me. i was given an examination, and had to take a pee test. the results came back about 30 mins later. the nurse said, i have Urethritis, and talked with me about it. a short while later, a nurse came in, i recieved a shot of antibiotic in my right thigh, they numbed it up, but i then got very sore thigh, felt like a charley horse. i was also given a tablet to take. i was prescribed with 2 medicines, Clotrimazole and doxycycline. we picked up my prescriptions at the walgreen's drive thru last night. the nurse also said, they will call me, if anything is found in the test/cultures. if i'm not better or see any improvement in 3 to 5 days, i will have to go back in to hospital or to see a urologist. i can confirm, the swelling has eased this morning, which is a relief. i'm going to take my dose of medicine, at 8:30am this morning. the medicine i was prescribed,i can't have any calcium containing foods, drinks, or supplements, for 1 hour before, or 2 hours after, the medicine also can make me sun sensitive. i'm going to be resting today, it was a long evening, and night. i did get to sleep. i'm relieved, i got the right medicines. i just want to get better, and to fully heal. i am thinking of you all, our dear angel friends. i'm going to spend time in my hugbook, and will write a journal update, later on today. i'm determined to heal, and to get back to 100%. thank you angel friends, for being here, for my family, Holly, and i. we love you all, very much :) wishing everyone, a good monday, and a good new week :) big group comforting friendship hug <3

Hi Chris Sorry you ended up in the hospital But glad you received the right medication Hope you feel better soon I am very proud of you for realizing you needed care.

So happy you"re home & they did diagnostic testing/treated you for your condition. I was soo worried as this is a serious illness for men. Continue to follow Dr. orders, rest, recover & take your meds. Please go back to the hospital if your condition worsens. Healing prayers that won"t be the case. You are family to me. Love & Hugs!
