Have you ever lived a day by 15 minute intervals? Well it is pretty tiring and really keeps you moving without much chance to do anything at all. B was diagnosed with a UTI, (urinary tract infection) I think this may be what the fever was reflecting. It is painful and causes the sensation of needing to use the bathroom quite frequently, every 15 minutes. Well, that is all par for the course, but in B's case he has the added feature of have some blood in his urine. Being a guy and the first time for a UTI, he didn't notice. But I did and we have been tracking it all day. Almost went to the ER twice today. But called first to make certain we were not in a crisis. We are watching this as B is very low on platelets. This means that he may not stop bleeding. So we watch everything very closely. It is been a day.
Well you may be wondering where was yesterday's blog? Saturday was just another day in our life. It seems it was my turn to take a spin down the urgent care. I blew out my shoulder Thursday night and didn't feel the extreme effects until Friday night late. Couldn't sleep due to the excruciating pain. I had this once before about 3 years ago and it rendered my arm useless, so I didn't want the whole weekend to go that route. Saturday was my turn to be at the infusion center with B, but it was also Mom's training day. Well she got her monies worth, not only did she have to stay with B, but she had to go get a prescription at the pharmacy she just learned how to locate and she had to transport B home. All this so my sister, who was in town to assist, took me to urgent care. Aren't we in a sorry state. It's kinda funny when you think about it. But anyway that is my excuse for no blog last night The anti-inflammatory meds they gave me worked like a dream. I still feel some pain, but nowhere near what it was. I was able to track with B all day today, no problems. I have learned not to ask the question "What Next"? I wonder if at sometime, somebody is going to say "you're on Candid Camera"!
Until next time,
Hopeful Believer.
