Update on medical problem!

Went to the Urologist this afternoon--I definitely have Epididymis-Orchitis which can be caused by E. Coli or pseudomonas (whatever that is)--it can take up to 4 weeks for the pain and swelling to go down. I talked to him about the antibiotic (Sulfamethoxazole) he had given me and how it caused my INR (blood thinner count) to jump too high. He said I shouldn't take it anymore and he gave me 16 Tramadol HCL tablets to take IF NEEDED for pain. I have to use ice packs 3 times a day and am suppose to stay off my feet as much as I can and keep my mid-section raised among other things---which if I wrote about I would blush!! So from this point it is a wait and wait and wait and I'm not good at waiting! Thanks to all those who have asked how I was doing!??
