Infection and Lab Work

So Monday I realized that there was something wrong with down there.  I called my nurse and she told me to take monostat 7.  So I started it on Monday night and when I woke up Tuesday morning, it was so swollen it felt like a Shar-Pei's lip.  Don't know what that feels like?  Well it's pretty darn swollen :/  So I called my family doctor because I knew Dr. Litherland isn't in on Tuesdays.  Went in and they confirmed it was a severe yeast infection (you could smell it) and maybe a bladder infection with glucose coming thru on the urine test strip.  They called Dr. Litherland's office and they told me to get to the hospital right away so they could look at me.  The nurse confirmed a yeast infection but wasn't sure about the bladder infection.  I had to do blood work anyway so they sent me to the lab for a cbc, urinalysis, and a urine culture.  The nurse called me back today to let me know that the cbc did have some white blood cells, which could be normal, and the glucose is high.  The urine culture won't be back until tomorrow but she'll call me to let me know about it then.  I have to go in for the 3 hour glucose test some time next week.  I am not looking forward to it but I want to make sure everything will be okay with little Kerrigan.
