whew.........i have been diagnosed.......bladder infection with slight problem in urinary tract...that's why it hurt so much when i peed.....he put me on a strong antibiotic.....robert is doing all of the lifting. i'm pretty much bossing. it sure is nice to have a friend that knows about these things.....he picked up the specimen and then came back with meds............i can't ask for more than that. and i didn't lose a beat when i handed him my pee.........he didn't either.....ER will do that for you.
