Today, Mom and I went to the dentist. She had an absesce that manifested on Saturday. So, combined with the note from Dr. Myerson (her Rhumetoligist) that she has decreased kidney function... we have a few things to check out.
The dentist said that it appeared that the tooth is cracked and, given he tried twice to treat it (two previous gum boils), she should see a dental surgeon. So, we have an appointment for him on Thursday.
Sharon, Dr. Cantwell's nurse called me today to say they had not received the fax from Myerson last Tuesday or on any of the days inbetween. I told her I would have it sent again..and she said she would watch for it. I called Dr. Myerson andt he lady told me she would send it. I asked how I would know if it really got there. She told me she would wait for confirmation and if that didn't happen...try again. So I expect that tomorrow we should be having another conversation with Cant'well's office. I did ask Sharon if a decreased kidney function was normal with aging and she said it could be but there could be underlying causes and that they wouldn't know what until they saw the lab report. At that point, Cantwell would either see Mom or recommend a Kidney specialist. So we are waiting with patience.
Wednesday we go to the skin doctor to have an overall look at Mom .... and I am having a look as well just to be on the safe side. I will let you know what goes. Mom has a thing on her cheek that she is concerned about and so, it is good to have it looked at.
Karen is taking Lilly, the kitty, to the specialist vet tomorrow to have her checked out. She is anemic. And on Friday, Inge is having her trigger thumb operated on so she will be in better shape. Nothing like a full week of entertainment!
