Well, my kidney ultrasound yesterday came back clean. I know this is really good news, but I'm also frustrated at the lack of attention the medical community gives to me. I told them I didn't feel good and something else was wrong, but they refuse to look into it, repeating the refrain about drinking more water. Even my dad says that some air in the tube is normal and I need to not worry so much. But it hurts. And I know it's not supposed to hurt this bad. So something needs to change, I'm just not sure what.
I got referred to what I've heard is a really good urologist though, so maybe we will finally be able to get to the bottom of it. We will see... I am trying to remain positive and hopeful, but it feels like I'm walking through molasses in winter.
