I started taking antibiotics last night. I'll be on them seven days. I hadn't really noticed notable symptoms of a urinary track infection, but I'm guessing I've had it a while. Apparently a neglected one could risk further kidney issues, as I already have some. If I hadn't by chance seen a thorough nephrologist, who knows what would have happened! I have felt especially tired. Perhaps the antibiotics?

The Czech government lifted the mask mandate for all places except on public transportation, in medical offices/hospitals, and pharmacies. Many are still wearing masks in grocery stores, though. Hubby did yesterday, but I confess to not. It was the most pleasant visit to the store since arriving here. I would wear the mask if it weren't for my eyesight issues with (steaming up) and without glasses and masks. It was the first time I shopped low stress and without a painful scalp pain (headache) developing. We did keep our distance from others, used a plastic glove, and washed our hands well afterwards.

At the store I felt some food stuck on my tooth. I asked Hubby to look and he said it was a lot. I was a little embarrassed thinking that the first time maskless I looked like that. I'd better start spiffing up more before going out now. LOL!

My seasonal sinusitis has been nasty lately. My right ear has been a bit clogged. I've a history of this. I think something's amiss with my inner ear. Gosh, I don't want to have to go to an ENT now! As for the actual sinusitis, nothing seems to help much. For sinus pressure, pseudophedrine gives relief, but I doubt they even sell that in CZ. They hardly do in the US. In NJ, they did so behind the counter requiring a driver's license. Two pharmacies that knew me refused to sell it to me. The ENTs only prescribed nasal sprays, which did squat. So, I suffer with this annoyance. Pseudophedrine can trigger hypomania/mania. It did for me. Bad habit!
