some of you may or may not know that i have 3 kidneys.. i have 1 kidney on the left side and 2 on the right that are grown together, like a siamese kidney. i have been subject to infections my entire life, i usually had anywhere from 30 to 40 a year when i was younger. because of the unusual nature of the 2 kidneys, i suffer from urethral reflux, the same concept as acid reflux, it causes everything that leaves my kidneys to backwash into them, giving me major infections.

i had became fairly ill one day. it didnt worry me though, as i got sick all the time and never bothered going to the doctor most of the time. days passed and i thought i would be on the upswing by then, i wasnt. on the 5th day i was struken down with immense pain in my kidney and 104 fever, this was in the morning. by nighttime, i couldnt even stand up to walk and became delirious. i woke my frined out of bed and asked her to take me to the hospital. turns out i had a SEVERE septic infection, The infection caused my kidney(s) to temporarily stop working. till it was all said and done, the doctor told me that if i had gone to sleep... i would not have woken up the next morning. i was on antibiotics and treatment for over a month till i was healthy again.
