Going to the Emergency Room

So my birthday had just passed and it was the Monday after celebrating. I noticed a maroon color in my urine. My first thought was that Anna dumped something in the toilet that i must have over looked. After I asked her, kinda knowing yet fearing her answer, I rushed to the ER thinking that I had a kidney stone it was 10pm. Thinking back, i wish that that's all it would have been. Hours later and after finally receiving a CT scan, they sent me on m way saying that I just had swollen lymph nodes. I had to catch a cab home because I was drugged up pretty good. I made sure my car would be okay in the ER parking lot over night then went home it was about 3am.

Back Pain...

As some of you may know, I've been experiencing some back pain from an athletic injury at the gym. The injury wasn't thought to be severe but it was painful enough to keep me from working out at all. This was pretty depressing for me. One day I found myself in excruciating pain and went to the ER, but it wasnt in the spinal area (initial injury location) it was in my right side, the flank area. After being told time and time again that I didn't need any sort of scan, I was prescribed pain medication and refered to physical therapy. After a few weeks of PT things were finally starting too look up. I could do some simple routines like some yoga poses and a few pull ups.
