Wednesday and Dizzy Again

I woke up close to 5:00AM as usual and when I began to get out of bed, I realized I was dizzy again. I carefully and slowly walked to the bathroom and sat down. After I had been up awhile and got dressed, I began to get over the dizziness. I am going over to Coffeyville this morning to get my hair done and I may drop in at the Urgent Care again. I should think after a week of taking this antibiotic it should be doing something about the dizziness and the UTI.

I don't know whether Bob will have breakfast with me this morning or not since he is staying with Joanne since she broke her arm. First he said "no" but then asked me if he could change his mind about breakfast. I said "sure" so he may go after all. After 6:00AM I will check again with him.

I checked the bank this morning and my social security had come in.

More later....I want to get some coffee.

I almost couldn't get my TV on this morning. The battery is going out on my remote and I can't get it open to change it, Finally after several times trying, it came on and then I had a hard time getting the channels to change. It finally came on but now I imagine I will have to keep it on now or have no TV. I don't know how I can get the battery changed when I can't get the battery area on the remote open.  Always something!

Sometime after 6:00AM I will try to text Bob and see if he is going to be up for breakfast. 

I will get my hair done at 9:00AM and afterward go to Woodshed and buy gas and then go out to Walmart and get the only things I need there. Then I will come back home. I may go up to Independence and see if Schables TV can get this remote open so I can change the battery. He saved me once before several years ago when I was trying to get a connection on the TV out and accidentally pulled the wiring off. He soldered some new wiring on it for me.

Then I will go back home to actually change the battery. I believe you just have a short time before you lose the programming and I don't recall how to re-program it. This remote came with the Tivo. I need it to get into my Amazon Prime.

I have four cats/kittens out there for breakfast and they are quarreling over it.  I have plenty of bowls full out there but some are greedy.

Bob says he had better not go to breakfast while Joanne needs him. That's more important so I told him "maybe later".

More later...

I left for Coffeyville at 8:30AM and went to the bank first to get cash for my hair appointment then it was time for it. Afterward, I went to Woodshed and bought gas. 

I called Urgent Care and told them I still had the dizziness the first thing in the morning and no other symptoms of a UTI ...no burning at urination or anything else and then they wanted me to see the doctor about the dizziness. I made an appointment for tomorrow afternoon at Dr. Christensen's office at 3:00PM. I will take in a urine sample for them to examine. It has been a week now and I still have those morning dizzy spells and half the antibiotic is gone. I have never had any other symptoms but the dizziness so I have a hard time believing it is a urinary tract infection. I always remember that Bob's doctor told us it wasn't cancer clear up to a week or ten days before he died...of cancer. If his dermatologist hadn't insisted on getting us an appointment with Dr. Rayburn, the radiologist, we would not have known what is was at all.  Dr. Rayburn scanned Bob's chest and after looking at his computer screen said "Well, this is cancer but we won't know what kind until we do a needle biopsy". After that we called in hospice and eight days later...Bob was dead.

I have to admit I don't have a lot of confidence in most doctors. We have had several bad experiences with them . That was just the worse one. Dr. Peaster, a urinary specialist in Bartlesville, botched my bladder surgery. That surgery lasted five months. I had to have an alternate surgery at KU Med Center after that. Dr. Smith, an orthopedic surgeon, botched my left foot bunion surgery. You can see my surgeries have not been very successful. Only the two Dr. Smithson did were successful. They were my hysterectomy and my umbilical hernia surgery.

I don't believe I have cancer but I do believe if they can't find anything else to blame symptoms on, they just guess. They aren't God. They just think they are.

More later...

As I was on my way home, I tried to call Schables in Independence about the remote for my Tivo.   They were not open. As I was passing Tyro, I texted John to see if he was home. I was going to run out there and see if he could get it open. But he was delivering feed and was over by Havana but he asked what I needed and I told him .  I told him I was nearly home now and he said he would drop by and see what he could do. I thought I was close enough to home to get the Chronicle paid so I wrote a check for the Chronicle and dropped it by the Caney office.

When I got home John was already there. Luckily, I was nearly home and caught him.I was trying to open the wrong port and he noticed that. He was able to open the other end and we saw the batteries. They were AAs and I had plenty of those. So he left and I was able to get two new batteries in the remote. John is really good about trying to help me with things I can no longer handle.

It's just after 3:30PM and soon the news will be on at 4:00Pm so I will watch some Amazon Prime until then.,,,now that I have the TV back,

So more later...

I watched some Amazon Prime and about 5:00PM Keith called. I was delighted to hear from him. Esther was out doing some shopping. Wednesday is her day off. They will go out somewhere for dinner. 

It is 6:00PM now and I just  watched the CBS news.  I am going to record the interview of Sunday's 60 Minutes. This Sunday they are airing a group of recorded interviews by Bob Woodward with Trump for Woodward's book "Fear". 

Keith thinks we will all meet on Thanksgiving at Scott and Ginger's new home. He says we will all drive there rather then fly. It's too dangerous to fly just now with the coronavirus. I haven't heard anything about that from John and Leslie yet. Maybe they don't have their plans solidified yet. 

Four cats/kittens came for supper. The yellow adolescent cat, both of Scruffie's kittens and Scruffie were all there for supper. Luckily, I had put out all four bowls. That eliminated fighting.

It's after  6:00PM now and I will take my bath at 7:00PM and plan to go to bed at 9:00PM as usual.
