I'm sorry, Calli.
Slap my hand now!

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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I'm so sorry Calli. I'm glad you had her for an aunt.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Calli, I'm sorry she is gone. Peace to her memory.

Nora -if you don't know about D-Mannose supplements you might want to try them. It's the sugar in the cranberries that attract the bacteria. It doesn't cure the UTI but it can help shorten the duration and the bacteria will go and cling to the sugar and get flushed out of your system.
Most health food stores have it.
For the discomfort it helps to stay away from acidic foods (citrus, cranberry), alcohol (which I realize doesn't work with your job), and spicy food.
The other thing I do for comfort is (white fonted) when I have a UTI (or IC flare up that causes pain) instead of toilet paper I use a Perineal Wash Bottle - like this [link] with plain warm water like a bidet. I find the warm water is soothing and it helps keep things cleaner. You can also try hot or cold packs that can help.

And, finally (I'm a so sorry to spam)
I got an email from my therapist - she got an statement from my insurance - they paid for all my visits in June. She hasn't gotten the statment for July but I bet they paid for those too.
I met the deductible! She's sending me a check to reimburse me what I paid her. I won't have to pay her for the rest of the year. I don't know if this will be all my doctors appointments but I'm not worrying about it.
Weirdly this has given me energy to go and mow my yard. Well the part that people can see from the street, the side yard can wait.
