Bladder infection
David and I met with Dr. Lynne Clelmo today.  She is our internist.  David had blood in his urine this morning and so called her.  Since the prostate is enlarged but does not appear to be inflamed, she believes it is a bladder infection and will culture his urine.  She prescribed a sulfa drug to treat it rather an an antibiotic to prevent any interaction with the Flecainade for the arrhythmia.   Then she mentioned the CT scans and I told her that David is seeing the pulmonologist and that Dr. Davidson is taking his case with the head and neck growths to the differential diagnosis committee.  She was relieved that we know about the results and are already dealing with it.  She really hopes that the urine culture comes back with an infection.  A UTI can explain his having no energy and needing more sleep.  He is gone to a political meeting tonight so his mood has certainly improved. He has another one on Wednesday and then one to choose delegates to the national Democratic convention.  He is a delegate to the Virginia convention.  He does love politics.
