Cami called. Seems Mom has a UTI again. A little agitation, can't sit still, going to the bathroom every five minutes. Yup sure sounds like it.
Again I tried to not have to take Mom to the office. Again I failed. I called for the advice nurse and got told I would get a call back. The intake person also convinced me to do the e-visit because we can do bladder infections there now. So I did the e-visit which entails answering a bunch of questions. Within five minutes I got an email telling me they can't do anything and that she needs to be seen. Said I would receive a call shortly to get her in.
Four hours later Cami calls and I said I will just come get her and take her to urgent care and that is what I did. Just as we were arriving my phone rings.....it was the advice nurse. I didn't take the call. I'm already there. It takes two hours at urgent care. That's just the way it goes always. Yes she has a UTI and yes we can have antibiotics.
Now when I didn't answer the phone the advice nurse called Cami. The advice nurse was not happy that we went to urgent care, but Cami told her we waited almost five hours for a call back. Well we should have an appointment......Cami told her we needed to be seen today and get started on antibiotics. Sheesh. Guess it all works out in the end.
So by the time we got done at urgent care it was way past dinner time. So Mom and I did the drive thru at Burgerville. Mom really loves that Pepper Bacon Cheeseburger. It seems the only time she gets it is after a trip to the doctor's office. We took our dinner back to Cami's and ate at the dinner table with Cami telling us stories. It was kind of nice.
A little side story....while driving Mom comments on the kidders settling down nicely. I just agreed with her. About ten minutes later she tells me those kids must have fallen asleep; Again I agreed with her and she probably was right. They were asleep in their beds.
