after working 3 days this week, i just couldn't pull it together to go in to the office yesterday.
when vern came home he took me to the ER at the Tucson Heart Institute. we went there because i'd read that it is small and underutilized by the public.
after many tests and xrays, the diagnosis was urinary tract infection, but not in the bladder, but in the kidneys. malfunction of renal system caused muscle aches and pains associated with dehydration.
i've had twinges of pain in my lower right back for a couple months. thought it was from swimming laps, never had a kidney infection, so never even entered my mind.
i'm on sulfa drug. kidney area still hurts, but other muscle aches have subsided. dull headache remains.
postponed the journey to east TN for a few weeks so that i'll feel like partying! we rescheduled the flight to Oct 30 and will hang around til Nov. 10.
meantime, i'm drinking agua agua agua.
later.

Catching Up
Trip to Denver, 9-24 to 26....whirlwind of air travel. Great class on involvement of native peoples in the NEPA process.
Back late Wed. evening, exhausted and still fighting the chest congestion. Worked some from home Thurs, off sick on Friday, in the office Sat evening to approve a report that had to be done by midnight EDT on 9/30. Despite feeling puny, i swam laps both Sat and Sunday.
Today was dedicated to re-entry at work.
David had his 2nd sleep study last night. They put what he called a "snout" over his face to force air into his respiratory tract. He stopped breathing 54 times per hour in the first test. The 2nd was done to see how the machine (snout) worked. Let's hope it was successful or we're out about $300 for the tests and no relief from his sleep apnea. If the test was successful, they outfit him with his own personal snout to use every night. People who use them sleep like babies (i've heard personal testimony to such.)
David stopped by his Dr's this afternoon to try to get me in for a visit before we head east. I want to know if indeed i have valley fever or just what is keeping me fatigued and coughing a lot without much congestion.
Wednesday is the great boob-squeeze adventure at Radiology Ltd. I sooo look forward to the cold metal clamp on what was meant to be suckled and sustenance.
