I slept well last night but once again I woke up dizzy. I will stop by the urgent care again while I am in Coffeyville this morning. I went through all the antibiotics a week ago and nothing has changed. When I got up this morning .and got out of bed I was very dizzy...again. I drank several bottles of water and finally the dizziness went away. My mouth was very dry. I will go by the Urgent Care again after I get my hair done and my gasoline. I talked to Dr. Christensen's nurse Lori day before yesterday and she insisted I had a UTI. They had never called me back about my urine results and if I hadn't called the office and complained that nothing had changed, I wouldn't have heard a word out of them. I told Lori that I still had the dizziness and she said she would tell the doctor. That's as far as it went. I never heard another word. I am very disappointed about their response. If it is a UTI, it could be pretty dangerous if they just let it go.
I will leave in ten minutes to go to Coffeyville and pick up Bob for breakfast. After I talk to the Urgent Care people I will get some lunch somewhere, pick up a treat for game day and go to game day.
I tried to use Outlook this morning and also web mail but Cox's mail server was down. It finally went off the laptop but that was a fluke since Cox mail server is down. If it weren't for Cox Complete Care, I would find another internet provider.
More later in the day after I get back from Coffeyville after 4:30PM I will go to Walmart while I am there and get some more frozen meals and a couple of other things..
I had better leave now.
I had breakfast with Bob and after I took him home I went out to Woodshed and bought my gas. Then I had my hair done. After that I went back to the Urgent Care and took a urine specimen. It wasn't a UTI. They did an analysis of my urine and it was clear.
It is when you are as old as I am when you have laid down for hours like I do each night. The blood pools in your feel and lower legs. So when you get up, that causes the dizziness. The Nurse PA took my blood pressure sitting up, lying down and standing. Each reading was at least ten points difference. She told me to sit on the side of the bed first and flex my feet before trying to walk, then stand by the bed and do the same thing. Then take a few steps and do it again. That lets the blood circulate through the legs from the feet and will stop the dizziness. I will try that in the morning. I was glad it was not a UTI because I was afraid what would happen to my kidneys if that UTI continued another few weeks. They did an analysis of the urine and it was clear.
That made better sense.
I sat in the car and read Rudy's book until time for game day. After game day, I went back to the market to get my frozen meals and bananas. I took some bananas over to Nancy too. I also gave her one of my green bags that preserves the bananas for week. Then I came back home and put away my groceries. I took the cats/kittens out some supper. They were all ready. Now I will watch the news.
After the news, I read my book until bath time and then I got back to it until 9:00PM, when I went to bed.

When I had UTI, I don't remember dizziness. I remember having to constantly, constantly having to urinate. And then there was blood in the urine. I hope you don't have it. After that incident some 40 years ago, I always kept cranberry juice in my freezer.
I don't have a UTI now, Kay. They insist I did have one with that first urine sample but I still don't believe it. I just believe they just have egg on their face and don't want to believe they jumped to the wrong conclusion.
I have had too many doctor's make mistakes with me to trust them anymore. The first one was a failed bunion surgery and the second one was that failed bladder prolapse surgery and the third one
was the one that told Bob he didn't have cancer ...just weeks before he died of cancer.
No, they aren't God....they just think they are.
All of those were specialists too.
Remem!ber that
