lander2312, Thanks for your info. I don't think I had a kidney infection, but that's what the doc went with. The ER doc asked me if I knew why my nitrats and white blood cell counts were elevated and I played stupid. They looked at me with some suspition, I played dumb. If I do get up the nerve and I feel any pain at all, I'll stop ASAP and hope I'll heal fast. Scary stuff pissin' red when you're expecting yellow. I don't know how my doc would react to me being honest with him about this stuff. How have other docs reacted to letting the cat out of the bag.. so to speak? I'd hate to have my insurance provider use this as an excuse to screw me down the line. Anyone have any advice about that?
Thanks everyone!!
