a little Extra
What the actual #@$%&?!
Here's the thing, if you're gonna get what I got, apparently you're gonna get it no matter what you do. It may sound silly, but I find a whole lot of comfort in this fact. I've always led my life doing whatever the hell I wanted, many great adventures, a few things maybe I regret a little, some moments I wasted, and many others I was fully immersed in, but none of it influenced my current situation. So on June 29th, 2017 I entered a completely new era in my life.
It all started with a slight discomfort comparable to getting kicked in the jewels. Ladies, believe me when I say if you're a guy, even an itch around your acorns can set you off on a WebMD downward spiral - dudes, you know which dark rabbit whole I'm talking about. So off I dashed a la Bugs Bunny to urgent care busting through the door full junk exposed where my friend, Dr. Somgai Wudevr (Chinese-Polish I think) awaited with blissful rubber gloves ready to give his full, and tragically mistaken diagnosis of a UTI... how very Shakespearean. I guess my left nut and I were star crossed lovers.
​
I was given clear instructions: "Don't drink while on these antibiotics, and if the treatment doesn't work, check in with a specialist." Spoiler alert... YOLO! I did the first thing, and since symptoms didn't lessen, I thought "what the hell, let's do the second thing." Well I don't know if it was a dumb thing or a smart thing I did the first thing, because the second thing led to my oh so very real and final diagnosis, which in case you haven't caught up yet, was far worse than my original one.
