MS lunacies

Hello!

I hope you guys are having a good day!

Yes I know! I only wrote one post today and then was on radio silent throughout the remaining of the day, but there is a reason why.

You see today, and I had told you this already, I went to the CMR so that they could fix my chair of all of its problems. So they fix the knob, then the holder, the head holder and even order a new set of feet rester for me seeing that the current months are broken and needs to be replaced. All in all I was finished by 2:25 PM but then the fun started, I was spasing left and right very violently and noticed that I had a sharp pain in my pubic area. The freaking catheter again! Okay, relax, the bus will pick you back up to 2:45 PM and you should be home by 3:20 PM. So I started to call the CLSC from the CMR so they can get someone here by the time I get home, no luck every nurse that I tried to reach had her voicemail on, even the head nurse wasn't returning any calls. Okay, let's call my occupational therapist, her to was unavailable, find I'll go home and instruct my wife what to do so she can relieve the pain a bit.

Said and done, when I came home my wife came from picking up my youngest daughter and once I was in the house she put me to bed and I told her what to do. Well, she should have become a nurse because urine started to flow, can I say that? And then I started to call the CLSC again, luckily I got my occupational therapists so I told her what the problems had been, yes problems, the doctor is not calling me back and I might have an infection, the catheter wasn't working properly until my wife fixed it and I haven't gotten that magic formula that apparently will solved my catheter problems. She said she was going to look into it, and she did, the doctor called me almost right away with an action plan, he was going to prescribe cranberry pills to eliminate the white deposits that are causing the blockage of my catheter and a nurse was coming over tomorrow to take a urine sample so that they might analyze it and if I have an infection prescribed antibiotics.

So by the time I got back in the chair it was probably 5:30 PM already and then I kicked my daughters up their room so I can write a post explaining the whole situation.

I hope you all understand.

Have a great day!
