There's something about a food that moves all by itself that gives me the heebie-jeebies.

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Thanks, everyone.

WS, this is just part of life with SB. It isn't likely to stop happening anytime soon. It's just much more of a PITA when you have a toddler to look after, and you are already hacking up a lung with a cold.

Thrive to spite them

sj and beekaytee I hope y'all feel better soon I know how miserable that is.

I took a 6 month course of low level antibiotics to tackle my chronic UTIs and it helped a lot. I don't know if that would help either of you but maybe it's something to bring up with your doctor.

Compassionately intolerant

I'm concerned about your repeated infections. I hope you both can get yourselves built back up to strength so you don't keep having them. In the meantime, thank goodness for antibiotics.

Me too, Andi, me too.

I'm challenging myself to eliminate some of the issues/elements that may be taxing my system.

FYI, I'm starting my program this week and will be practicing on myself first!

More exercise, less sugar can't hurt.

askye, that may be an option. I was on a low level antibiotic through most of my pregnancy because uti's can cause miscarriage, and I didn't want to take that risk.

Even with Tylenol and Motrin, I'm running a low fever and am in pain. I wish I had gotten some good pain meds.

sj I was UTI free for a year , which was exciting. But I've had 2 recently ..which doesn't surprise me considering the changes that happened. I'm going to call my urologist this week and make an appointment to ask to try the low dose antibiotic again.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Sittng in my new house, looking out into the backyard. It's going to be a great place, although right now we're in the middle of the "no furniture and sleeping on an air mattress" part of the process. We have a woodchuck living in the backyard!

Our wings are not tired.

Does he chuck wood?

When you can please post pictures so we can picture you in your new home.

~ma as needed. Tired here. Left for the hospital at 7 AM to try and catch the person arranging the move to rehab for step-dad. My sister and I waited 5 hours before we saw her. Ah, hospitals on the holiday weekend are so efficient. Anyway, hope to spring him to rehab tomorrow.
