What a day! I made three trips to Emporia today. Feel like I have been going in circles all day long.
Got up and fixed a batch of spaghetti sauce to cook in the crock pot. I spent some time running to the bathroom this morning – again! Dang, this is getting old. I sent a note to my doctor after the third trip to the bathroom this morning letting him know that yesterday I had gone 12 times and I was already at 3 for today. I was starting to feel like I was getting a UTI too.
Someone had posted on Facebook that they were looking for chicken feed sacks. I responded and the lady stopped by to pick them up this morning. Good to get those out of the way.
I baked a pan of brownies and then Jim and I went to Emporia to pick up Tagen and his girlfriend. We stopped and got some ice cream for dessert and came back home. I fed them spaghetti and meat balls with garlic bread and brownies and ice cream for dessert. They all seemed to enjoy it.
I got a call from the doctor after lunch and I had to run back to Emporia to pick up a new prescription and to have a UA done. The doctor is giving me a second antibiotic to fight the C-Diff.
I sent a note to the specialist I had seen last time letting her know what was going on. I didn’t hear back from her today.
Just before lunch Jim discovered the basement is leaking again. Jim thought that a sump pump might help so I called the plumber to see if he could install a sump pump for us. To my surprise the plumber showed up mid afternoon. He thought we already had a sump pump and he was going to fix it. After looking at where it is leaking he said the problem is a block or break in the lateral pipes that drain from the basement fittings. I have to call in someone that has a digger to find the lateral pipe so it can be repaired. Dang! Good to know what the problem is though and that we might be getting closer to solving our water leak.
While the plumber was here I had him show me how to turn the water in the barn on. He turned it on but discovered two water leaks out there. He is coming back another day to fix those.
What is it about this house and water? It seems to be a continuous and ongoing problem.
Jim went to Emporia after I got home to get a new wet vac to suck up all the water. He had used the mop and picked up 10 gallons of water. After he got home he sucked up another 12 gallons.
We had to take Tagen and his girlfriend home so we made another trip to Emporia. I took the leftovers from lunch to Michelle and her family so they could eat them up.
My UA results came back. I have blood in my urine but so far not enough of an infection to treat. If I am not better by Friday I am to go see the Doctor then.
I got a jury duty summons today. I have to report on July 12. Hoping it will get cancelled like last time I got summoned.
Thankfully things have slowed down this evening. I am really feeling discouraged and drained this evening. I don’t have anything on my calendar for the next couple of days so hoping I can rest and recover and kick this stuff. I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired.
Grateful for the time with Tagen and his girlfriend, grateful for a plumber that responded so quickly, and grateful and hopeful the new meds will help.
