On Wednesday I had a visit to my NP, Susan Conn, who is actually leaving the practice in September and I had planned to discuss an issue with her at my next physical but she won’t be there. Because I wanted to talk with her about it, I scheduled a visit now. For about a year now I’ve been having trouble sleeping and the more and more I payed attention and the more time went on symptoms got worse. And when I say symptoms I mean the urge to move my legs. Like an electrical surge would wake me up and I would need to move my legs. Talking to my mom about it, I learned my mom and my grandma both suffer the same thing. My grandma to the point that she gets up to walk in the night. So I had a hunch it was Restless Leg Syndrome. At my doctor visit it was confirmed. So my NP put me on meds at night to see how I do. Hopefully I get some relief.
As for the ER visit…Thursday while I was at Reese’s soccer game I got a call from Gabi that her flank pain was worse (she was complaining of it before work) and felt she needed to go the ER in case she needed a CT. She was thinking either kidney infection or stones and the ER could do the CT if needed. She worked til 7 and headed to the Granger ER. Tests confirmed a kidney infection so she was given fluids for dehydration and meds for the infection. Glad she got it taken care of before our weekend at the camper - girls weekend 😃 which we both were looking forward to.
