Emergency room trip! SOMETIMES, LIFE can SUCK!!!
For several days over the weekend, my visits to the bathroom (for # 1) grew VERY frequent. Monday the 16th, the urination was burning and I felt weak and feverish, so I went. By SOME miracle, I made it there WITHOUT wetting myself. Tests disclosed a urinary tract infection, blood in the urine, and I was told that some antibiotics would be mailed to me, which I would take for ten to fifteen days, after which I'd need to return for more tests.
I phoned the VA Hospital the next morning, learned they HADN'T been mailed yet, and arranged for them to be held at the VA Pharmacy, where I would pick them up the next day, Wednesday the 18th (it can sometimes take a WEEK for the Mail to get them to me, and I wanted to start the antibiotics as soon as possible.
I DID, and am ON them now.
To be able to MAKE that trip WITHOUT a minor catastrophe, I got a ride to Walgreens and spent a fair chunk of a donation on ... DIAPERS (Depend Fit-Flex)!!! AGGGGGHHH!!! I'm not READY for THIS!!!
I could Really, REALLY USE another DONATION; it's liable to be a long and painful couple of weeks.
GOD, how EMBARRASSING. Don't expect to see THIS on my blog! :(
THAT line above is how I ended the email I sent to friends. Obviously I am DESPERATE enough to have changed my mind.
I'll almost Certainly have emergency taxi trips and purchases to make, for which I have almost NO money. For God's sake, PLEASE!!!
