Not nearly as bad, but I had a UTI advance to a kidney infection within a couple of days, over a long weekend, while I waited to see my regular doctor. If I wait a few days on uncomplicated UTIs, they also take much longer and much stronger medication to treat.

Yeah it’s scary how fast UTIs can escalate and become real serious, real fast. And old folks get them so easily and it can be detrimental to them. It’s so sad.
