Update

 Well my kidney or bladder infection got 3x antibiotics they said it was nasty.   I got moved to a COVID room but not kicked out.  Still no interest in food.  Not much to say.  

New life events

 So add COVID positive test to the list.   Super low hemoglobin so transfusions. 

Fucking constant bP test   Hate it   

After eight hours I got some jello and pudding cups.   My blood sugar was crashing.   

And a bladder infection.  

And low blood pressure.

At least they are not sending me home tonight.  

A gallon of blood

 So we (PR and I) tried to head out to DHRs Er today.  I was able to get to the front door but had to give up.  Eventually I had EH call an ambulance.   

So for family who asked my o2 stats are at 100%

I saw a Dr at intake then got to an ER room. After sitting unseen for hours the Dr made it and yikes so many tests.  A gallon of blood it seemed, X-ray,  COVID test Yoda yada.   

Transfusions in my future.  A bolus of liquid for dehydration.  Who knows what else.  

No visiting reminder

 Hi 

Just a reminder mostly to Family.  Do not turn up on my doorstep.  You not be admitted.   I can’t entertain you.  Go to a nearby hotel and GO HOME.  Ty

Tweety Bird

So my Drs PA who I call tweety bird called to be sure I had the meds that insurance had declined initially. I take double the authorized dose and that’s a lot.  13k a month.   She says she never saw a message about my being sick and said anything over 100.4 I should go to the ER.   And yes my Dr is on vacation this week.  Argh.  100.4 is what I call afternoon… 

They were supposed to come and replace my door lock today but the person didn’t show up for work.  They trying to find someone else to do it.  I can’t walk the back way out of the property it’s too long a hike so I’m stuck.  The ever helpful receptionist / organizer said maybe she could come do it.  We will see.  

Meanwhile PR came over so I wouldn’t be alone with the handyman and has been going great guns on dozens of things that have been annoying me.  I was able to eat half a milk shake and a part of an egg roll so solid food yay.   

Still here still ghosted

 I’ve left messages for my Dr with no reply.  Temp still all over the place but fever not as bad if I don’t fall asleep under the heating pad.   

Thanks to EH for carving out my front lawn and trimming.  

And thanks TK and PR for food and other support.  

I have no interest in food.  I was eating some broccoli cheese soup - forcing myself - and ended up with massive runs.  When you don’t eat many solids you don’t have to go often so it was a surprise.   I’m wondering if my gluten / milk allergy is returning.  

And on top of this I get to try and get my door fixed.  Gee thanks.  

Anyway not dead yet.  

Thirteen minutes

 Wednesday close to 11 Pm I got a call from another Dr in the practice. My blood work was off.  They would try to get me in on Thursday for a transfusion.  Thursday I got 4 spam calls in Spanish about my cars extended warranty.  I changed a spam setting. I then missed two calls from the infusion dept and returned the calls 13 minutes later.  The tech said no guarantees but if I could get type / cross match they might be able to get me in that day (Friday).  So huge thanks to PR for taking me and being the squeaky wheel to get an appointment that afternoon. 

Perfect storm. My phone works fine plugged in but dies without electric.  PR is unfortunately Android.   Couldn’t borrow a charger, doesn’t really matter as I sleep through IVs.  When the tech that called in the morning and couldn’t get me he called my emergency contact.  My brothers conferred and decided a wellness check was needed.  They had the sheriff break into my house.   THIRTEEN MINUTEs.  

I am pissed, I feel violated, I hope this is the end of it but I wonder.  

So the hope is that I will feel better starting tonight and it will last two weeks.   Fingers crossed.
