went back to the doc friday morning cause i was in so much pain, i could no longer pee at all. he sent me to a proctologist who felt i had either a blockage or abscess around the prostate. so got admitted friday morning, bunch of lab work and CT scan and then surgery yesterday morning... through the urethra to remove an abscess. tons of antibiotics and the let me go today. but have a sort of cath... a tube in the middle of my crotch, 3 inches about my "business" for another 2-4 days to let all the irritation and swelling go down before I have to pee on my own. fun stuff!
The doc said it was actually a staph, but turned out that 95+% of it was not the drug resistant sort of staph, so that was good and drug treatable without having to go to those super heavy duty ones.
She is ok. Still has numbness and some pain. But now working with a posture specialist to do some specialized stretching.
