Now tagless for your comfort.

Peace and strength to your family, Sail.

libkitty, I'm so sorry about your church. It's sad when a community loses such a valuable physical asset. But at least the spiritual cornerstone is still there and I hope the community can rally and replace what can be replaced and fondly remember what can't be.

Oh, Sail, I'm so sorry for you loss. Thoughts to you and yours.

libkitty, thank you for the update on things. Thoughts and prayers to your community as you figure out what to do next. And do let us know if there is a fund somewhere. I know I'd love to contribute a little.

I'm up! I'm not in quite as much pain as when I went to bed, so that's good. I have to have fasting blood taken this morning, so I'm not eating or drinking anything. Must remember to take my meds with me to take after they've drawn the blood. I'm hoping that I can make it till about 2pm at work. That would be ideal. Then I can come home and crash with my painkillers.

good luck today, vw! Be nice if you had one day (or a hundred) that went according to plan. Though, try not to beat yourself up if it goes awry.

libkitty, I am so sorry about this loss to your community. I'm glad it helps to share here.

Feel better soon, Trudy. A sick day sounds like it may be in order.

Boy, wouldn't it.

And, it didn't. By the time I got to the T to go to work (after getting my blood drawn), I was in so much pain, I was in tears. So, I came home. Just e-mailed work telling them that I've decided to not work extra hours this week (it's Spring Break), and just try to take it easy and recuperate. Hopefully that will be ok with them. Otherwise, I may lose the job. I hope not, but I'm accepting that that is a possibility.

Have I mentioned lately that this sucks? 'Cause it does. Time for more painkillers.

I hope it works out with the job, vw. it would be great if you could use Spring Break as a time to rest.

Nora, how'd the research go this weekend? Find anything good in that mess of articles I sent you?

TMI question for my Bitches. Partially whitefonted for the squeamish.

So, I have this yeast infection. I also have my period. Now, I've had a yeast infection before, but I don't really remember it very well. I remember it as more being a pain in the ass than anything else, like painful or uncomfortable. So, my doctor told me to do the over-the-counter seven-day treatment, because it's the most effective treatment out there. So, that's what I'm doing. But, when I put the cream in, it stings so badly. And on top of the other pain on having right now, it's almost unbarable. It feels like it's sizzlilng down there, and it's really just no fun. Is this normal, and I'm just not remembering it? Or, does it sound semi-normal, but with everything else that's going on it's probably magnified? Or, should I be concerned? It's to the point where I lie in bed for several hours before falling asleep, because it is so uncomfortable. And really, right now, I need my sleep...if nothing else, so I get a break from the pain.

That's never happened with me, vw. this may be a reaction to all the other stuff you've gone through. Can you call the nurse?

Shit. That's what I was afraid of. I really thought that I would have remembered if it were painful. Maybe I'll give my doctor a page today. She's getting used to hearing from me about every other day. Don't wanna let her down!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

majorly gronky here. hope the doc can sort this all out, vw, as the sizzling? sounds like even less fun than you have been having.

vw, that has happened to me before so I stopped using the cream and now get a prescription for diflucan. Is that an option for you?
