I had a phone appt with my doctor today. I have a UTI. We think. Probably from sitting down too much and holding it too long. I've had a few close calls and minor accidents that might've been enough to be noticed by others if I hadn't been sitting down with a jacket that covers my bum...anyway, tmi. But it happens. Women are more susceptible to that. Also...There are fewer places I can "run in" to pee these days. It can also be peri menopause/ muscle control...but it's more painful so it's probably a UTI, I've had before...and if the medicine doesn't resolve it, I'll go for tests. I don't really want to go into a medical facility if I can help it.
Funny thing, I went to the supermarket pharmacy this time (usually a different pharmacy) to pick it up (wore my mask inside) so I could pick up a few groceries at the same time - and who did I pass in the parking lot? My doctor. He's a very young minded doc. He greeted me with "Hey Kimmio!" He's only a few years older than me. We grew up in the same neighbourhood and he knows some of my high school friends. Because of that sometimes I've felt feel weird talking to him about serious things, especially disability related...but he's a good person, and that's my issue. When I was worried about the MAID laws I told him "Don't ever let me choose that if I'm down about concurrent issues." (Depression being one of them.) He said he'd be my harbour seal. Referring to a seal who rescued a bridge jumper.
I'm supposed to lay off coffee (according to the Internet, and my memory of having had a UTI years ago, but he didn't mention it). So, I'm making my way home with a Tim's in my cup holder (that's pretty much the reason I attached one to my scooter. Lol.) there's a Tim's in the same store. I'm a coffee addict. If it's open I always get a coffee while I'm there. Or Starbucks in the area, but that's been closed for awhile (I miss it).
