I’ve
mentioned many times how susceptible Kathy is if some person across
the room sneezes chances are an almost certainty that she’ll catch
it. Last night after shutting down the Computers I’m the one
who started feeling like I had something growing in my stomach. Try
as I might after not sleeping and feeling much worse I sat in the
Recliner around 3:00 in the morning. In total I might had
slept less then Two Hours for the night. The outside temp
stayed at 68 F (20 C) the entire night without any
breeze so we were feeling Hot.
Even
though I was awake staying in bed to fight the shivers and just to
rest was on my mind. After getting things set up for breakfast I had
just started my Computer when Kathy came downstairs. She had
barely gotten Three Hours of sleep because when I got up she
woke up. Then when I did lay back down she was watching over me.
Other then being tired she was feeling just fine. She suspected I had
contracted a 24 Hour Stomach Flu because we had eaten all the
same foods and she was fine.
By
10:00 this morning the temperature was in the Seventies
feeling closer to Eighty and that was while we kept having
Rain showers. I had to reprint our Medication Lists along
with our Medical Histories. With the changes that have been
made there were a lot of changes to be made.
We
had a 2:00 appointment for this afternoon with our Family Doctor.
The last time we were there he was running nearly Two Hours
behind. Imagine our surprise when we got a call asking if we could
come in early. Do wheels go round and round?
Kathy
wanted a Lite Lunch so she made us Toast so we could
finish the last of the Homemade Apple Sauce as a topping.
We
were on our way out the door shortly before 12:30 heading for Windsor
and managed to arrive at our Family
Doctor’s Office just after 1:00. When we got called in
together George reviewed the results of all Kathy’s Tests
and was concerned that a couple of her medication were on the high
side. (Her former Doctor had never discussed her Tests
with her or changed her Medication in over Five Years.)
George wrote new prescriptions for lower dosages on those so she can
start to feel better.
George
verified that there is a Flu Strain going around with the
symptoms that I experienced. He also signed the Referral Papers
to the Sleep Disorder Clinic for both Kathy and I. We’ve
noticed the Symptoms we experienced prior to being diagnosed
with Sleep Apnea returning. Like when we sleep solid the
entire night only to wake as tired as we did before going to bed. Not
Good!
With
those Forms in hand we drove directly there. The Windsor
Sleep Disorder Clinic was on our way to other stops we
needed to make. The receptionist was impressed how thorough we were
but the soonest she could schedule us in for a Consultation is
July. We asked to be put on a cancellation list so if something opens
up sooner because we are really feeling the effects of the Sleep
Apnea.
Our
next stop was to check our Mail at Guardian Storage.
The one piece of mail was the Refund for Kathy’s in house
Foot Treatment.
Stopping
at Motor City Community Credit Union
we cashed the cheque so we’ll have the money the next time Mary
from Healthy Heals comes around.
It was starting to feel cold outside because of the 34 MPH Wind
gusts.
We
drove to the nearby Dollarama
where we found the Three Items we wanted for our
Site
in the seasonal section of the store. The total cost was less then
Nine Dollars which was far less then One Item alone at
the other stores.
We
drove to the Zehrs grocery store
where we spent some time getting everything on Kathy’s Shopping
List.
Even
though we had eaten hours before the water we were drinking wasn’t
doing much for us. We stopped at McDonald’s
where we each had a Blueberry/Pomegranate Smoothie. Not only
did it quench our thirst but it satisfied our appetites.

We
headed for the E.C, Rowe Expressway
because we needed to get Kathy’s prescriptions filled. It took only
Twelve Minutes to cross the width of Windsor
before heading up through LaSalle
heading for Amherstburg.
It
was after 5:00 when we arrived at Pharma
Choice in Amherstburg.
I mentioned the other day how the Ontario
rules only allows them to dispense a One Month Supply on new
Medication. Fortunately today these were the same kind of
Medication just at Lower Strengths so when we left
there we had both totally filled.
Even
with food in the back of the Car neither of us were feeling
like cooking. We stopped at Subway
where we shared a Twelve Inch Variety Sub on Whole
Wheat. That way we can each have the fixings we want and it was
more then satisfying.
It
was nearly 6:00 when we got Home.
The Wind had really picked up forcing us to close the Windows
we wouldn’t have to wear a sweater. That was when Kathy made the
comment that she would like to be back in Quartzsite
right now. When I showed her that it was 42 F more then
here in Essex she quickly changed
her mind.
Just
finished adjusting Kathy’s Medication
List to
accurately show what she is now taking, Not
sure what we’ll be doing tomorrow but it’s not suppose to be
Raining.
Thank
you for following along and feel free to leave a comment.
Be
Safe and Enjoy!
It’s
about time.

I talked to a friend yesterday who is presently in WI and wants to head back to Yuma. AH are you nuts was my reply. It was 104 here today but I have a/c she doesn't have anything in her travel trailer.
ReplyDeleteI love how you both look after one other. I am glad Kathy and you share a caring doctor that actually discussed tests results and adjusts medications accordingly.
ReplyDeleteWill follow your journey with the Sleep Disorder Clinic.
Hopefully by the time you read this you will be feeling much better. So happy that you now have a caring doctor.
ReplyDeleteI have never had a doctor call me in early!! It's 105 here ... I'll send you some warm!!! Good luck with the sleep clinic!
ReplyDeleteAnother fun filled day of running around..haha. You two have a lot of energy. Nice that your doctor really follows through with your concerns. I wouldn't like that heat either in Q!
