This day has felt like it has been three days long. I didn’t sleep much last night. I didn’t think I was worrying but could not find sleep. Thinking it will be an early bedtime for me tonight.
I went to the GYN. I liked her and her staff. They were kind and good listeners and easy to talk to. I do have a prolapse and she recommended surgery. However, she has to refer me to a “lady plumber” in Wichita as she called it. Not sure what the doctor’s name is I am being referred to or when I might hear from them but will give it a week or so.
I also have a skin infection of some sort. This was an incidental find today. She prescribed a steroid cream that I have to use for three months. One tube cost $150 and the pharmacist said I will need at least one more and maybe two more tubes before the three months are up.
The GYN had me take a urine test as some of my symptoms sounded like a UTI to the Doctor. The results were inconclusive so they are going to culture them and see if anything grows. I told the nurse when she called me with the results that I can’t do oral antibiotics due to my history with C-Diff. She said she would pass that along to the doctor. We shall see what happens if I need antibiotics.
I went to Walmart after my appointment to pick up the prescription. The pharmacist had some questions about how often I was to apply it. What the Doctor told me didn’t match with what was called in. He called the Doctor but couldn’t get hold of her so I had to go back. When I went back after lunch he still hadn’t heard from the Doctor so he called her again. He didn’t change the dosage on the box of cream he gave me but told me to follow the schedule the doctor gave me. I was on a time crunch as I needed to get to court and he worked hard to get me the medication so I didn’t have to come back a third time.
I met Jason for lunch at Radius and then we went to a court thing. To our surprise the judge was able to render a decision today. The hearing went two hours longer than scheduled but it is all over. Not sure Jason got what he was hoping for but the good news is he now knows what he is getting and everything is settled.
I talked to our attorney about Max’s situation. He echoed what the estate attorney had said in that it may not be worth filing for probate. I am going to table that decision for a bit and revisit it again later. I am still waiting to find out when I might have surgery before I schedule the Celebration of Life for Max. Trusting the doctor’s office I am being referred to will get back to me sooner rather than later and that there isn’t a month or more wait to be seen. If there is, I can go ahead and get it scheduled before surgery.
I had to drive to Cassoday on the Turnpike and then up through Matfield Green to Cottonwood Falls to get home. It is a trip of 60 miles instead of 20. It seemed to take a long time to get home. The regular way is flooded over. There are many places along the Turnpike that it looks like a new lake was put in. Water, water, everywhere you look there is water. I texted a friend about the road situation off and on all day. I ran into her husband while I was at Walmart getting my prescription. I appreciated their help in finding me a safe way to get home today.
I won’t be going anywhere anytime soon. The flood waters aren’t to recede until sometime tomorrow but we are forecast to get even more rain over the next five to six days. Wondering if the mail can get to us and am betting that the Dollar General will run out of things before a truck can restock them. Lots of people around me have flood damage and a lot of clean up will need to happen over the next month or so. Grateful I am only inconvenienced by a long drive to get to Emporia.
Not sure I am tracking or thinking straight tonight. I am so tired. It was a jam packed day for me and I will need a couple of quiet days at home to recover. Sitting in a court room that is in conflict is tough energy for me to sit in. I had to get up and take a couple breaks during the hearing. It was a huge relief to hear her ruling today and know that the conflict is over. The scars remain though and they will take longer to heal.
Grateful I was able to make it home tonight even though I had to take the long way home, grateful Jason’s situation got answers today even if they weren’t the ones we wanted to hear, and grateful to be able to sleep in my own bed tonight.
