Bernie,

Now there's a question for the ages!  :)

I hate this for you, buddy, but so grateful to Him that you're able to fight it this way and keep outa the hoosgal.

Now...if you'd just quit drinking outa mud puddles, Bernie... we might avoid this in the future, ok?  :rolleyes:    :knothead:    :jumper:  

Prayers that this round will kill it deader'n a salt mackeral.

Lord in your mercy...

Keep the Son in your eyes, B!

Thanks, all. I just never could stay away from those "pud muddles" - LOL

Oh, ya know what the docs tell me about reoccurring UTIs the other day before checking out??? They can produce symptoms like dementia - it isn't dementia but acts like it sometimes - Boy am i in deep doo-doo! Got CRS, big time, already - LOL

Bernie, it's good to see that you still have your great sense of humor.  Someone said laughter is the best medicine.  Keep it up!

Glad they shared that with you, B!

I worked for a Non-profit that did Guardianship ...  one of the Guardian (nurse) told me as my folks aged, if they suddenly acted goofier (than normal) to have a UTI culture test done...NOT a urinalysis...a culture test...and that 90% of those initially diagnosed with dementia onset are really suffering from UTI's.

I shared this with many my age with older parents who used it wisely... and saved their parent(s) untold grief when it was a treatable infection.

So there ya go, Bernie...forewarned is foretold so you now have an excuse for any given day's totally bizarre behavior.

I will pray for Rose!    :biglaugh:

LOL- I heard THAT! It really is a good thing for them to warn us about though, could save some pretty big scares - for many folks.

Bud,

Bernie shared this with me:

Today, marks the end of my second bout of IV antibiotics through the PIc - then they'll "jerk" it out of my arm (again). Like pulling the drawstring out of your sweat pants - LOL. Tomorrow I go on oral antibiotics - 2 per day for 6 weeks.
So far so good, this time.

Oh, and I should be able to get back to shooting my bow again (probably 35#er again).

I believe he's to be on Low-dose antibiotics for the rest of his days as a prophylactic?

Better that than what he's been thru several times... now if he'd just quit letting the dogs lick out of his Marine Coffee mug!  :)

Update:
So far so good, folks. The Dr. also changed my BP meds a little (to get me off one of my two old ones that is also a beta blocker type, I've been on for years, and to bring my heart beat/pulse up a little more as it's always been low). I do seem to be having some small amount of dizziness going on that most likely is from the change to the oral antibiotics, or the new BP pills. A little ea
rly to tell. but I take my vitals every day and the Dr. checks with me (by phone) weekly, and the visiting nurses are still coming by once a week too. I can't complain (from what it was) so far - I just wish I'd get back to a real norm. Then I guess most all "older folk" have those feelings - LOL.

I am thinking today that I will call the Dr. tomorrow about the dizziness. I think the new BP medicine is taking my upper BP number TOO low and causing the dizziness. We'll see.

Got the next door neighbor's son (not a kid) mowing the lawn and trimming edges for us now. Tim can pick up a little extra pocket money, and I'm giving him a lot of stuff I don't use anymore that he enjoys. He also is going to go up on the roof and blow out the gutters, that I was going to do just before I got sick. I wouldn't dare get on the roof just yet. So that all takes a lot of worry off our minds. Says he'll do anything we need done. I gave him a couple hand-held Mp3 players (loaded with music he likes), some misc. camping gear, a slug of fishing gear, etc. - plus he can buy assesories he needs for his boat that he lives on - he's in hog heaven, and our yard looks more like normal these days. Good deal for all.

I'm rambling - LOL - just wanted everyone to know I'm still kicking.

I know everyone appreciates your updates, Bernie.

Get them meds straightened out... some don't play well with others and docs don't always review what other docs give you to see all is copacetic.

Better to call early then throw your system in a tizzy!

Keep us posted, Mini-Grunt.  

Keep the Son in your eyes, bro.

Thanks to all who check in, the encouragement, and prayers. I talked to the Dr. yesterday and we are dropping the new BP med and going back to half the old one (for now) starting today. We'll see if we can hit a happy medium - LOL (I sure hope so - we all know I'm dizzy enough without meds making me more so).

As a kid I started out with white hair (no fooling), by the time I got into 7th grde it was almost black, then when I joined the MC at 17 it was back to brown. Snuck right by blond without stopping somehow. (Now it's kinda salt and pepper, if I let it grow out - LOL)
