WEnt to the doctor, she was like "you totally have a UTI." She also gave me the name of a urology practice I can maybe start going to for this kind of thing.
My lower back is killing me so I splurged and got a heating pad at Rite Aid. I had one before but it didnt' make one of the moves and OH MY GOD this thing is bliss. I'm thinking about adding a heated mattress pad and an electric blanket to my christmas wish list.
askye, if you need to be up and about I like those stick-on heat patches (I get the kind that actually get hot, rather than relying on capsicum). They help and, during the winter, feel nice and warm.
I couldn't find any of hte stick on patches but I may get some. I went to therapy and had to park further away than I wanted to (forgot to bring change for the meter) and I'm wiped out after walking up the hill and down the hill. I talked to my therapist about my worries that the shrink won't be receptive to adding medicine or increasing dosages (he's more about getting people off meds which is fine but that's not going to work right now). She's going to call and talk to him before my appointment tomorrow.
I'm having anxiety dreams, anxiety attacks over going to sleep, and with the UTI getting up multiple times in the night to pee so I think I'm getting 4 or 5 hours of sleep a night. Which isn't enough. I'm not looking for something permanent just something to get me through the holidays.
New Year's Resolution is to get on waiting lists for new shrinks.
Speaking of doing dumb things, I bought deli meat and yogurt and forgot about them. Left them sitting in a grocery bag on the floor for six hours. Sure the meat's had it, but what about the yogurt? It's already spoiled milk, right, shouldn't it be okay?
Thanks, brenda. That was going to be my breakfast!
Odds are they're both fine.
Yeah, I have to admit I'd totally eat the meat too.
I wouldn't eat the deli meat, unless maybe I cooked it. A friend got really sick thinking it was fine to eat the luncheon meat she left out overnight. The yogurt is probably fine, but I would give it a good smell first.
The deli meat's package is bulging tight, so im calling it bacteria. The yogurt I'm probably eating.
