Tuesday evening I started to fell shitty, I checked my temp, it was 99.8 if I remember right. Over night it got up to 101.8. 8:00 am Wednesday it was 98.8. Later in the day it was back up to 100.0. it has been floating around there since. No breathing problems, I can smell the peanut butter. I ache everywhere ! some times it is severe !
My Cousin is 73yo, her husband is 80yo & has a form of Cancer that drugs can control ! So it is important that we know what is up ! I’m 65yo.
Last night I decided I should write my Reps. Mailed an e-mail to the House Guy & Sen Kaine. Wagner has hoops you had to jump thru to write him. This morning at 4:00 am I got a reply from Senator Kaine with places that did test near me ! That was a Big fucken deal to me ! My cousin was in talks with her 40 year local doctor. at one point the doctor was President of Virginia Doctors Asso. I forwarded that e-mail to my cousin.
About 2:00 pm I got a call from my cousin. I was to go to the Piedmont Urgent Care for drive up testing. She wanted to take me, I said no way I feel good enough to drive there. Great service. I parked & called the number a lady was out in 5 minutes with info to collect. She came back in about 15 minutes with my ID & info. 10 minutes or so later another nurse came out decked out to get swabs of my nose. It was raining & she said I need windshield wipers ! LOL She said 2 to days days, then said sometimes 24 hours. They will call me & the doctor when they get the results
So that is where I am now. This morning I looked at the tick bite from a week or more ago & it didn’t look so hot. So there is a chance of Lyme disease !
I will be in bed shortly. Thought I should write this before I went to sleep. It is still a wait & see situation. But I got a test !
My temp is: 101.4
there will probably be to many replies to answer them all !
thanks for the replies. I can’t get to sleep for very long. right now I’m in a chill trend & will make a can of soup. the House rep has tried to call me twice. I can get to the phone fast enough.
The house rep replied by e-mail they couldn’t help with a medical issue. Sen Kaine & staff sure found a way !
