My temp is up to 102 today. I have called my professors to tell them I won’t be going to class today, and the one with the exam is going to let me make it up! I head back to the doctor’s in a few.
Thanks, Katie. I have had uti’s my whole life. I am more prone to them because of my disability. I have been downing cranberry juice like mad I didn’t know about the bee propolis extract though. I will look into it. Since I am still running a fever today though, I do need to see my doctor, because otherwise it will easily lead to a kidney infection, which I also have experience with.
{{sj}} Quick recovery ~ma.

You're welcome, of course! And I agree that chills and a fever are antibiotic requiring.
If you do get a chance to lay in some propolis, (and you have no bee allergies!), I'd be interested to hear your results. You really need to take it at the first twinge. I'm sure you already know this, but cranberry concentrate...the stuff that nearly causes you to implode is the best...no sugar or caffiene either. Both feed the wee nasty beasties.
Good luck with the doc and may you have the quickest easing of symptoms evah.
Good luck, sj! I'm glad your prof will let you make up the exam. Feel better soon!
sj, quick-recovery-ma for you. I HATEHATEHATE UTI's. A lot.
I bought Owen a Little Tikes Climb & Slide Castle for the playroom and he's in love with it. He keeps sliding down the slide head first.
Oh, Cashmere, that sounds so cute!
Happy Valentine's Day, All!
and the one with the exam is going to let me make it up!
yay for your profs being human too!
Oh, sj, I'm sorry.
Hope it clears up fast.
I am no less attractive than I was last week, just because people want to sell cards.(I was feeling pretty cute last week actually. This week I need a haircut, but otherwise, same basic assets..."package" seemed less than right for Bitches, you know.)
Hec, Veronica Hamel should also be persuaded toward a cut. She has the same hair and we thought it was kind of Morticia...
Ok, I just came from a website [link] that says the US Congress is trying to make it even easier for health insurance plans (or things masquerading as such) to screw us out of basic and reasonable care, and wants to send this message to Reps and Senators:
Congress is currently considering legislation - the Small Business Health Fairness Act of 2005, S. 406/H.R. 525 - that would exempt Association Health Plans (AHPs) from the consumer protections my family enjoys under our state laws. By having this special exemption, AHPs could undermine the goal of promoting greater healthcare access and affordability for all Americans.
Supporters argue that AHPs would lower the cost of health insurance. But the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office found that premiums would increase for 80 percent of beneficiaries, and as many as 100,000 of the sickest plan members would lose coverage altogether.
Furthermore, this legislation would allow AHPs to operate without being required to comply with the valuable healthcare safeguards our state has enacted. Your constituents could be denied access to care, refused important healthcare services like mammography screening, subjected to premium increases without limit, and left with unpaid medical bills.
Congress already tried this once. Why would we want to revive an idea that left over 400,000 consumers with $123 million in unpaid claims?
