6 days ago, when I went by the doctor's office to see if he had any idea why my back was still so painful from a fall 2 weeks prior, we decided it was probably due to a cracked rib. He asked me to leave a urine sample before I left, so I did. His nurse sent me a copy of the report yesterday, (because my fax machine was off). I just assumed that it was OK, and laid it aside. I opened it a few minutes ago, when I decided to clear some of the unopened mail off the top of my computer, and dang if it doesn't show that I have a Klebsiella Oxytoca infection. I reckon the moral of that story is that when I receive a lab report, maybe I should open it.
I haven't noticed any symptoms, (unless that pain in the area of my kidney is more than just a cracked rib), but I reckon I'd better call my doc in the morning. I hope that dang kidney's not infected, because from what I read, treating that would require several days in the hospital with IV-administered drugs.
Surely I would be feeling a lot worse if that were the case.I don't understand where it could have come from.
As Emily Litella, (the Gilda Radner SNL character), used to always say, "It's always something".Tex
that this isn't serious.
