Is it a kidney stone? Is it an infection? Is up really down? So many questions and more.
No matter the phone, they really don’t take fish photos well. Probably because I am not using a professional camera to try to capture them?
The feature photo is Sapphire, a female betta. She joins two males.
Not in the same tank, of course.
I’ll share their photos as I write out this post of annoyances.
Today’s annoyance is brought to you by the letters C-A-T and an hour-long drive to Kalamazoo.
Health stuff is stupid and annoying.
There is no infection. Is it a kidney stone?

I had a urinalysis to see if I had a UTI. No bacteria, but I have moderate amounts of blood and mild levels of white blood cells. Okay, then. Right?
That is why my doctor ordered a CT, which led me to drive to Kalamazoo yesterday.
Just one problem…
I went and had the CT completed. They don’t see stones; it looks like there may be some thickening of the bladder, and the suggestion is to do a urinalysis to check for an infection.
You know? The urinalysis I already completed to check for an infection, but I had no bacteria. That urinalysis…
To say I am annoyed that I drove an hour away in freeway time and an hour home for useless reasons is an understatement.
It doesn’t change the annoying symptoms of blood and pain. Just saying…
I am waiting to hear what my doctor thinks. The results came back yesterday, but she hasn’t looked at them yet. I am quite tired of medical rabbit holes.
In all honesty, I think I just wanted to complain out loud. It is annoying. I don’t like going through hoops and medical crud. I am tired. It is bad enough I have my thyroid nodule biopsy on Tuesday and a back MRI at 10 PM the Sunday after.
10 freaking PM. Who the hell wants to get a back MRI that late at night? I’ll just sleep in the machine at this point… Geez.
I did promise all of my fish, though. So, before I close, here is Arius. I have had him for 6 months:

May you all have a beautiful weekend, my friends! I appreciate you stopping by to listen to me bitch. Health stuff is stupid. LOL
