I was sop happy on Wednesday after my appointment with the dentist. I got to see my new teeth for the first time and had them fitted properly so they could check the bite and size of teeth were correct. They look great and take years off me when i have them in, i look so much youngers its really mad how something small like new clean teeth can make such a dramatic change. They wont be ready till the 24th May but will be welcome when i do get them i actually miss having teeth now that the last of mine had been removed and the gum has healed properly.
I woke this morning, again not from the beast, but from feeling sick and feverish. I had to go over the doctors for an emergency appointment again yesterday as i was feeling really bad and though i had the beginnings of the FLU starting but i couldn’t have been more wrong. When i turned up at the doctors i thought to myself i should do a urine sample just in case and thank god that i did. The doctor dipped my urine with those special indicators that change colour when an infection or blood is present in your water. It changed to blue very quickly and the doctor turned to me and said “well there’s your problem, Mr.Russ, you have a water infection”.
Its just my luck after everything i have been though over the last couple of months with IBS starting and causing me major problems and trapped wind travelling around my body and organs giving me extreme pain each time i move and passing wind like someone has turned on an air tap and it won’t stop. giving myself a hernia by straining too much trying to go to the toilet after bad constipation due to medication and even having to have 2 enemas on one weekend, the most embarrassing treatment i have ever had. Now i have a water infection that not only causes me a fever and to go through hot and cold periods but also makes me feel sick and is also aggravating my IBS and causing me total discomfort. I just can’t win!
My doctors appointment has now been put back to the end of next week, Friday the 24th at 15.40 so i will be able to go to the dentist first and then show up at the doctors with my new teeth in. i don’t think the doctor will recognise me as its been such a long time since i had my teeth. i am again on antibiotics for the water infection so i can only imagine that it will cause me more constipation but at least its only for a couple of days this time and not weeks like the last lot i had only a few months ago. Its crazy to think that in the space of 4 months i have had 4 lots of antibiotics and it worries me that eventually my body will become immune to these antibiotics being given all the time and so will my illnesses if i am not careful. There's not a lot more i can do except wait for it to pass and drink lots of fluids to help flush out the infection.
