I realized I had a urinary problem. I looked it up online and drank lots of water but it was painful to pee and I felt shivery and had a sore stomach. It got worse and my daughter told me to phone 111.
I told my story and a nurse phoned back arranging an appointment at Crosshouse. I was really relieved as it was a Saturday evening The Lister Centre was easy for my husband to find. There a Dr examined me, took a sample and found a UTI was present.
I was so pleased to get antibiotics on a Saturday evening.
The doctor was gentle and reassuring. By the Sunday I felt better.
Not sure if I thanked her adequately!
