Probably TMI

My brain has been on overload trying to write about everything that has happened with medical appts...

Confirmed UTI #4 from lab results. Will be starting a new, long term antibiotic. Preston had concerns about the long term effects of being on it for an extended amount of time. My dr seemed really not concerned about that right now, more concerned about getting things back under control and fighting things now vs worrying about slight side effects that could come later. 

I was actually surprised that she was so calm about things, there have been very ligit concerns, and at my appt, she seemed ready to just take everything in stride and focus on what to do now. She is wanting to help me get on top of things and we will re-evaluate again next month, and then more in detail before my surgery in Jan.

Ultrasound appt was pretty straight forward. Tech was nice enough to chat about things during my appt. He said there were no "red flags", but specifically asked me if I had had any IV's recently - when I clarified what he meant by "recently" - he commented anything in the last 6 months. I think he was a bit taken back when I told him I have had 2 sets of MRI's and CT's all with contrasts/IV's since May. I counted - May and June I had MRI's and PETscan and CT. Just in the last 6 weeks, I have had 3 separate MRI's and PETscan and CT, all with IV contrasts. ALL in the RIGHT arm....As he asked me more questions, the more his questions made sense. No wonder that I am having swelling in my right arm considering all the pokes for IV etc plus labs. Everything since May has been totally crazy that way....

Still waiting for results and call from dr office, hopefully in next couple of days.....

Update - Ultrasound results.....Finally posted with no extra notes or calls from dr office....everything has come back as normal....no concerns about lymph nodes or blood clots. Again, we know what it isnt, but still dont have cause for what it is, or thought of how to help....Will just take it at face value for now....
