A Mobile Clinic And More




I've had a UTI for a while now. I'm taking antibiotics and drinking lots of water, which I always do, prone as I am to these infections. Last Thursday, I had an appointment at a mobile clinic in town. This was a first for me and I was curious. 
 



My legs are not as steady as they once were, so the staircase leading into the mobile unit was a bit scary, but a nice nurse took my hand and helped me. 



Inside were two small rooms and a station for the nurses. I think there were two nurses and one nurse practitioner. 


The nurse was very nice and explained how things worked in a compact place. This door, for example, can be used as a wheelchair ramp.


After she left and I was alone, waiting for the nurse practitioner to come, I got bored and took some pictures of the place. When she came back and saw me doing that, she asked if I would like her to take my picture. And then she took the above picture, where I look so much younger than I actually look in real life. How she accomplished that, I have no idea. But at least I look cheerful and not as sick as I felt. 


And, as it turned out, I still had the UTI, so more antibiotics were called in to Walmart Pharmacy. 


By the time I got there, the medicine was ready, so I didn't have to wait, and took this picture of the mountains, where there was actually snow, which didn't show in the photo. 


On my way home, I got stopped at the railroad crossing and this time, the train was fun. 


It didn't have that much good graffiti, but almost every car was of a different color. 


There were blue, light yellow, dark yellow, red, brown, black and gray cars. 


A very colorful train and I was sorry I was too close to capture it all in one photo. 


Then back home and today, Saturday, I finally feel much better. I went for a short walk with Faith this morning and I've started to clean up the mess in my house, which resulted from me not doing anything for the better part of a week of feeling unwell.
