We had the same kind of storm go around us tonight and it was just a lot of noise.

Back pain could be kidney stones.

As much as I avoid doctors, you need a competent physician. What a nightmare trying to find one.

Agreed. Where is Dr Welby when you need him.

Friday morning... got down to 69 overnight, but temps have quickly jumped back up... 91 when the sun hit the temp thing outside.. but dropped back to 86 once it was shaded by the tree leaves. Supposed to be in the mid 90's again... and it is humid... already back up to 89 in the shade...
Went out and let turkeys out, and filled feeder and water... I filled the ones for the chickens last evening.. Got a new 2 1/2 gal metal waterer for them. The plastic ones just do not last when they get alot of sun and hot/cold temp swings... The plastic ones get brittle in the sun after a couple years... I had the metal ones for years and years in the past until they finally will rust out. Went back to the metal. Plus the "double wall" helps to keep it a little cooler... I've got several 5 gallon big plastic ones from all the meat chickens in the past and they get hairline cracks and then won't keep the "vacuum" when you fill them as they let in a little air and then the water keeps running out... plus I had one just recently break when I screwed the lid back on... plastic...... The metal ones cost alot more... but in the long run they will last alot longer... so probably will even out in the long run. I am going to get another 5 or 7 gal metal one for the turkeys... so I can fill it once a day... and they get fenced out of the front yard area... As soon as it gets a little cooler, I am going to get the netting moved to get them more "contained" away from the yard.
Did not get any rain overnight again. Today's "future" radar looks like we might actually get some later this afternoon. Glad I soaked the plants last night...
So, I have considered that maybe it is kidney stones... never had them before in my life. DS has had them a couple times in the past and been really bad... and I did consider it a little... but with the "probable" tick bite and bulls eye, and the overall aches and feeling just "blah"... I figured it was that. Guess, that they can check urine for that? Since this is a new dr at the care center, they said I would have to establish a new relationship with them... so I am assuming that it will be a little more extensive appt.??? I will go and see... don't have to go back if I don't like the new one..... at least if they do blood work to find out if they find any Lyme or other tick borne "diseases"... and I am going to push them to check for the 4 or 5 different ones that the ticks carry.
Back is aching as usual. No headache today which is great.
Batteries are all charged up to use in the mower and the wheeled weed eater; maybe if it rains later, it will cool it off some more..
Had to eat before I took the antibiotics... forgot they upset my stomach and got sick a couple mornings when it was so hot and didn't eat first... OOPS..... so I am behind a little on taking them... my bad.
Been checking my BP for kicks the last few days... anywhere from 117/72 to 156/88 to 131/79 this morning; pulse in the 82-94 ranges... so I feel like it is fine.. I will remember to keep my feet flat on the floor at the dr office next Monday, though...
