I'm so depressed and bummed.
I finished my 2-week antibiodic for my proteas infection 9 days ago It was obviously working as my urine was real clear, no odor, etc.
This past Monday night I got my cath changed. Yesterday
morning husband Dave said "your urine smells real strong." Which
is never the case so shortly after a cath change.
Then last night I got the indicative shakes and my temp
was going up. Shit! I took Tylenol to bring the fever
down as those shakes nearly kill me. Plus slight nausea
- more like reflux. With Cipro on hand I took that too.
My shakes stopped and I slept well but but temp is
100.5 this morning.
This proteaus infection began way back on Dec 13th!
But the antibiodic Cefuroxime-axetil, in all areas,
seemed to be doing the trick.
We took an hour drive north yesterday to get out on a lovely day
here in AZ. I had some pain on the trip but it pretty much went away
after getting home. Then last night 
We need such a break from all these factors. Dave still
has insomnia and is exhausted. Bad news everywhere ...
A gem of an aide began here 2 months ago. Now she's 'moving on.'
I just wish she would have been upfront unless it was a
decision recently made. More opportunity and money she says.
But they need more people like her in the health care field.
When I first met her she said taking care of people is what
she's always wanted to do even though she's only 21.
But 21 going on 35.
I'm awaiting a call from my Dr's office on what to do. I feel
'ok' now but Tylenol & Cipro is kicking in.
I hope to get my culture results tomorrow. My nurse took a sample
Monday just to see if the other infection was gone.
These back-to-back UTIs are unsolvable. I just started my GSE
tablets yesterday. But if the infection was already there (no doubt now that
it was) then it won't work as a prophylactic.
I'll be in bed tomorrow as Dave has to take my chair downtown to
put the new part in. I need to be out of the chair for them to do the job.
With rain .. good day as any to have to stay in bed.
Depressed, confused and bummed,
