two days til the 1 year anniversary of when i went to the emergency room with horrific kidney pain concerned about some kind of organ rupture (bc eds) and they gave me some pain meds and did a ct of my kidneys and diagnosed me with muscle strain and sent me home. i was too tired and overwhelmed from past er visits finding nothing to even tell them about the gaping abcess on my port that was causing it to show thru my skin.
about 4 or 5 days later i was admitted to another hospital to get a week of antibiotics and a new central line and completely unable to urinate on my own, leaving me with a foley catheter. that kidney pain during was because my bladder was shutting down and i was in active severe retention and extremely close to having a bladder rupture. i nearly died 🤠
