Aventures in Kindney Infection!

Okay, most of you already know the details, but I'm just so dang proud of myself!  How can you tell you have a kidney infection if you're me?  No burning urine, but frequency in urination.  No fever, but hot flashes.  Yes to nausia and killer back pain.  So how long do you wait out the symptems if you don't have insurance?  A week for the first two symptems and 2 or 3 days for the other big ones.
I had this once before when I was pregnant with Lucas.  Didn't know what the crap was the fuss was until I got into the emergency room after bawling all night the pain was so bad.  The pain was definitely worse then, probably because the infection put me in labor.  At 28 weeks.  That resulted in a 2 1/2 day hospital stay to stop labor and to get antibiotics through an IV.
Well at the Urgent Care facility they don't have accomodations for a 2 day stay to do antibiotics through an IV.  What's plan B you ask?  A shot of antibiotics directly into my already sore kidney.  I found my happy place and in it went.
Took the prescription and got it filled to do a course of strong antibiotics on top of the shot.  Went home and took the first pill.  And puked.  Everything.  The nurse said to knock it off or I'd have to go to the ER (to get the meds through an IV).  What??? I can't afford that!  But I lasted the night and am happy to report that I will not need to go and stay at the hospital.  At least not today!
