This morning after very little sleep I awoke hours before my alarm and decided just to get up and at it. Good thing, as at just after 8, Mom called to say she hadn’t been feeling well that last couple days and did a test with the strips I got her for UTI. She said it was dark, and she was worried. The gift from above had already let me know she was suffering. I reached out to Rae-Anne to arrange bringing Granny to the Urgent Care Clinic, who are her Dr in lieu of a family Dr. I have sadness that it took so long, but I am glad as I spent over 7 hours working on one file today around a meeting with our Board President.
It turns out that it was not a great experience for either of them. This a little bit broke me. I am the one who advocates for her and I wasn’t there. The basically blew her off by telling her to drink more water, which she does, and gave a prescription for Antibiotics with the caution that she not take them unless her urine burns. I have told them repeatedly that this is not a symptom for her. I am unhappy with our medical system at the moment and will reach out to my ‘Family’ doctors to see if he will take her on. They even said she was to be on Blood Pressure meds but no one has tole us that, nor was I given a prescription.
Thank God for Rae-Anne being there to get all the info.
I finally left the office after 7 and came home to have a short visit with Tracey . Now I am going to have a special bevie and chill as I will work all weekend.
