I got up this morning and went to the doctor. This was a follow up appointment to one I had two weeks ago. I've still got some tenderness on my left flank, so wanted to address that and the pink pee incident from last Saturday.
So, spoke with the doc and we took some blood. They're running a couple of tests. One to check for white blood count which could indicate an infection, and a base metabolic analysis to check for other stuff. They said I should probably have the results by Wednesday.
We did discuss the pink pee, but the doctor said it might be a one-off incident as I have no kidney pain or pain/discharge when I did urinate. That's the reason for th BMA test they're doing. Just to double check.
Personally, I think the pinkness was food related. I ate a gas station tuna sandwich before peeing and think that might have been the cause.
On a good note, I've lost 12 pounds since my last visit.
No surprise, since I've been walking every night for the last two weeks, and mostly eating soft foods.
Anyway, I'll let y'all know what's going on as I find out myself.
Later!
