Had another treatment Wednesday. Fever got to 102.6 Wednesday night, Still think I have some king of infection as I have urinated more than 100 times in the last 48 hours. And I'm a Red Sox fan. Double whammy.
And Aaron Judge is your MVP. Can't give it to someone 30 games out of 1st place,
God Bless

2 prescription pills when I wake up (I have a slight reaction to the immunotherapy.
2 hours before treatment another 2 of the allergy pills.
Nothing to drink after those pills.
Treatment- Piss in a cup to be tested to make sure no infections so I can have treatment.
Treatment- Nurse comes in dressed in basically a hazmat suit.
Disinfects my junk, squeezes numbing gel into the tip.
Waits about 2 minutes and installs the catheter and draws out any urine in the bladder.
Then injects 50ml of BCG which is basically live TB virus,
I have to hold the BCG in my bladder for 2 hours if I can. Only once I have't been able to.
Hospital is 70 miles from my house so usually I make it home in less than 2 hours. If I don't then I stop and piss into a plastic urinal.
Now the "fun" starts. Once I piss for the 1st time my bladder starts to spasm.
So basically I feel like I have to piss non stop for the next 12 to 15 hours.
I also need to drink at least a gallon of liquid to get everything out of my system.
For the 1st 6 hours after the 1st pee after I go I have to add 1 to 2 cups of bleach into the bowl. Close the lid and wait 15 minutes. Then flush.
Then clean the seat and lid with bleach.
We have 1 bathroom so I have to be extra careful to make sure everything is sanitized so my wife doesn't get in contact with with anything nasty (Softball for Glen)
So since 5:15 today I have urinated 20 times. I will piss another 20 times before I can even think about sleep
I have a fever of 101. If it hits 103 I head to ER.
By the time I fall asleep it will be 4-5AM.
I do this for 3 weeks in a row every 3 months.
And it's much better than the alternative.
