    Will keep you posted.
    Yes, please stay in touch! Also hoping you dodge the covid bullet. I haven't caught it yet. Have kept up on vaccines and just got the new updated one. Thinking of you and hope the flushing resolves your problem!

      Surgery not scheduled until Dec 19. Earliest available. They're currently booking in January. Note added if anything opens up sooner, to try to fit me in.

      *Sigh* Was hoping would be within next month. Another 7 weeks of fevers isn't what I want. Urologist took some urine for a urine culture. The results should be completed Monday. He didn't seem that worried, since stent is draining my kidney, and sp catheter keeps my bladder drained.

      Called my PCP for results of blood work, and my wbc count is normal. He said he wants me to go hospital. Might have to do that. Will see what what results are from urine culture, and talk to my urologist Monday. If nothing shows up, not sure what another stay would be able to do to help. But would hopefully get the procedure to flush out my kidneys done sooner.

        My husband has covid now. Started having symptoms late last night.

        Got a prescription for paxlovid. Hope that helps some.

        He's my caretaker. Helps me in and out of bed. Feel bad he still has to help me. Wears a N95 mask when around me, but hope I'm not next.

        My daughter is the perkiest today she's been since Tues. Hope she's finally turning the corner and getting better.

          I am so sorry you are having such a bad time lately. I pray you do not get Covid too. Also that your family is better soon.

            Oh no, Kimba! I hope you don't get it. My mother-in-law, who is in hospice care, now has covid too. Praying for both of you.

              Sorry to hear. Hope you do not catch it. Hope your husband only has mild case. Glad your daughter is on the rebound. Covid seems to be all over again. Get my booster Wed.

              Let us know how you make out.

                I have covid now. Started having symptoms Tuesday night. Have a really bad sore throat and some high fevers. Hope thats the worst it gets. Started paxlovid yesterday.

                My daughter and husband are doing better. They were hit harder than I seem to getting.
