Trip to a different doctor....

Tweet

Some days I just don't want to get out of bed. And I guess that's normal for most of us. Problem for me is that I haven't wanted to get out of bed for too many days now and it took a discussion with my niece to realize that my problem is not going away by itself and I need to get myself to my doctor. Today was a crazy day for my niece. One of her cats needed vaccines today, so she went off to the vet. She brought along photos of her 1 year old cat who suddenly has lines going across her face. The vet had my niece go back home, grab that cat and bring her in, as well. They did scrapings and they think it's allergy related. She got a shot and some other medication and has to go back in two weeks to see how things are going. Needless to say, my niece was exhausted. Tomorrow, she was planning to take me for my colonoscopy. However, she's been hearing about my ear problem long enough. She's a doctor and although she's a lung specialist, she began asking me some questions about my ear. She finally decided that it's more serious than I've been thinking and she insisted I call the office for my colonoscopy to reschedule and instead try to get an appointment with my primary care doc. And that's what I did. I'm seeing my doctor tomorrow around noon to have him check out my ear. I can't hear much out of it anymore and it's gotten "goopy", so I know there's an infection going on. As usual, I waited too long, thinking it would magically go away. Sometimes it's nice to have a doctor in the family. More bad news. The kitten still is not coming home to me tomorrow, as originally hoped. The vet still thinks he's not big enough to have his operation, so it looks like two more weeks of waiting. My niece is going to bring me to the shelter after we have some lunch tomorrow so I can play with the little guy. The good news about this is that all the cats there get treated for worms (just in case). The kitten my niece recently got from the shelter did have worms, so now that my kitten is going to be there at least another week, he will get another dose. I will be bringing him to a vet once I get him, but the more they can do at the shelter, the better I'll feel about things. I haven't felt like writing much lately. I've been sitting in silence most of the time and reading. I feel like I've had my TV blasting too much when it is on because I can't hear, and I don't want to be a bother to my neighbors. So that's it from here. Hopefully, the next time I post, I'll be feeling lots better! Claudia
