Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
Where I Iive we can get prescriptions from our pharmacist for uncomplicated things like bladder infections, etc. About 3 weeks ago I got an antibiotic thinking I had a bladder infection. I took the full course of medicine and thought I was better. But I've been feeling off for a while even after taking that medicine. Thursday night I was up peeing all night and all day yesterday. Then I suddenly started to feel really bad, bad back pain, dizziness, nausea, faint, feverish, getting the chills. So I didn't hesitate after that. Straight to the ER.
I am 61 by the way. Old, but not really old. :)
Yes, not fun.
I nearly called 911 yesterday but instead hubs drove me and we spent from 7pm. to 1am. waiting. But they were thorough. I got a CT scan, bloodwork, urinalysis all in the scope of 6 hrs. as opposed to waiting till Monday, possibly getting a lot worse and driving all over town to get the tests done. I'm now on heay antibiotics for ten days.
That's what's on my mind today. :P
Hope you get it sorted out soon.
I’m a terrible driving instructor. My husband is a terrific driving instructor. He’s Mr. Chill. I was a bundle of nerves when I drove in the car with my girls.
They did so much better with my husband and with their driver education teacher. I made them nervous.
My mom never taught us to drive. My dad was a bundle of nerves trying to teach us.
I came home crying and daddy would come home cursing! Mom signed me up for driver’s education classes.
I did much better with in driver’s ed classes.
But life happens... as wonderful and sad as it can be.
Nothing shocks me anymore, but that is terribly sad.
My hub's niece is in her second year of medical school. She said that most students just go there to take their exams. They could fail over and over again and still get put through. She also said most students seek out third party resources to get their full education. The students basically pay to take their tests and that's it. No wonder there are so many incompetent doctors out there. Sad.
So sorry about your neighbor. My doctor is like your doctor and does X-rays. I have asthma too.
It’s a shame that your neighbor’s doctor didn’t take precautions.
Our doctor immediately sent my husband for further testing when his labs were off. That’s how his prostate cancer was diagnosed early. He had radiation treatments and is doing well now.
We are fortunate to have a doctor who stays on top of things.
Venting, don’t worry. You continue making the greatest life for yourself. Their time will come.
Hello Karma
There's absolutely no hope for her now - the cancer has spread too far. Maybe a year and a half ago when she first went to the doctor but not now. Why didn't she insist on an x-ray?
I also wish us all a splendid day! :)
I appreciate the grace and patience I’ve been afforded to noodle through this stuff. Thank you.
The wind is changing here.
Thanks! I wish! I don’t know when was my last splendid day.
