In my experience, I have only gotten rid of UTIs with antibiotics. Full stop, end of story, do not pass go, do not collect $200. I'd go get some before it gets worse.
Hello from Chippenham! It's The West of England. Saw many signs to Cardiff on the M4 on the way here from Heathrow. Heathrow did not kill us. This time. (I hate Heathrow.) We are driving the teeniest tiniest car, the Peugeot 107. Quite a change from the full sized Volvo we were cruising the back roads of the Kingdom of Fife, Scotland.
I am babbling about stupid stuff, 'cause real stuff is hard. Had dinner with Tom's dad, will be hanging out with him this weekend. In very nice news, he gave us cash to cover about half of the funeral expenses.
Time to sleep, though.
Sleep well, Nora. I'm glad travel is going fairly well, considering.
Babble away as needed, Nora. Wish there was something else I could do.
Uhhh, so I took a wee spending plan vacation. I'm watching the Heels play at a bar with other alums. I'm allowing myself bar food and two beers.

It's OK, smonster. It's the Carrier Classic! A brand new tradition.
I myself have had quite a few beers, but I'm at The Compound. A. and I were just discussing how we should watch more games at bars this season. Get out among the people.
I am broke, but have most of a bottle of cherry vodka in the freezer, and am contemplating calling up a couple of friends tomorrow night to see if they want to hang and drink. I haven't had a cocktail-and-gab night in a while...
I can spring for a liter of Sprite and a lime...
if I was around Erin -- I bring a bottle of rum and ginger beer
Maybe we could have a virtual cocktail-and-gab night.
eta: I said hi to both A. and W. and they say hi back!
erin, I know this is going to run counter to normal advice, but you may want to cut out the cranberry supplements.
If you can find it get, D-Mannose (which is just the sugar in cranberry that attracts e coli) and take that instead. Cranberry can be very irritating to the bladder, especially if it's inflamed and can be more painful than helpful.
