As I sit here, a fever simmering behind my eyes, I feel like I have a couple of hot rocks in my back.  Peeing has felt like passing fire for over a week now, and whilst I KNOW I have  UTI I think that I have a kidney infection to boot.

I should have gone to the doctor.  I should have gone and got seen.  But things have been so hectic...between Christmas and New Years and family and visits and travelling and all the other stuff that comes with the holidays - well, there just wasn't time.

So, I'm sitting here wondering whether this is worth a trip to the ER.  There isn't a clinic until Tuesday - that means that the ER will be packed with people who, like me, don't really have an emergency but who don't think they can wait until Tuesday to see a physician. 

I think I'm too far gone for the cranberry juice remedy.  I've done it before, and it's never worked for me.  I'm taking tylenol and hoping that this will resolve itself.....and preparing myself for a trip to the ER if it gets worse. 

Maybe if I go in at 10 at night it won't be so bad.......or perhaps 2am would be better.  Hmm.....
