I am out in California now, but things are not good. My urine output was way down the first two days so I contacted my doctor to see what I really should be looking out for. They told me to increase my fluid intake...which I had already done. Things haven't changed....except now I am in more pain. My MS Contin was doubled and I am also taking the Vicodin 7.5 inbetween. I was thinking that it was just the pain that I get when I haven't had a bowel movement for a few days, but once I went to the bathroom...and I have done that several times...the pain still remains. I haven't had pain this bad...at least not this way. It doesn't feel like it is related to my kidney problems. I am going to have to check and see if, as a veteran, I can get care here on base...otherwise I go searching.
Love to all,
