Hello to all,

I woke up this morning with the morning anxiety at max…my wife and myself arranged for her dentures to be ready around or on July 10th.. from dentist #1 on Tuesday 🙏 . We then arranged after yet another full mouth X-ray to have her teeth extracted under sedation on July 25th from dentist #2 on Thursday ✅ . Then Friday night she came down with some kind of bug…she is on a new BP med and a medicine for high uric acid content that she’s been taking for gout…I feel helpless…
I am trying to persuade her to go to the urgent care or the ER here.. but she wants to confer with her doctor by telephone ☎️ today..her symptoms are extreme fatigue, chills that come and go, chronic joint pain …hip, back, feet everywhere… then it lets up… very little appetite..all this since Friday… maybe she picked up something at one of the two dentist offices or at the mall where she waited for me Thursday….this heat wave doesn’t help anybody either…I’m going to check on her now, then go do the errands and pray my short prayer for God to help me and my wife…Again I have to always try and remember how fortunate I am for what I do have and be and feel grateful …still….so many people out there hurting…. I will get moving and be mindful of the heat index out there…I hope and wish you a safe and peaceful and healthy week…it makes me feel better ❤️‍🩹 to post on Mayo Connect… I don’t feel as isolated…🙏pvctom

I hope your wife got the medical advice she needed. I've been both the caretaker and the designated patient. Both positions are difficult, and it can be hard to know who makes the decisions. Anyway, I hope this situation has improved.
