Dear So and So

[Biciclista]

To whom it may concern
very funny. What I need on the Sunday before DH checks into the hospital for treatment is the first bladder infection I've had since 1971??????
Yes, ladies, I am drinking LOTS and LOTS now, since MY doctor takes Sundays off. (as well she should)

Dear coffee maker:

I was upset with you for quitting on me, but you've been forgiven. And forgotten. Now that I've been forced to start using a french press in the morning...I will never go the way of a drip coffee maker again.

Aren't French Presses great? Same thing happened to my coffeemaker, and I finally got a burr grinder that coarse grinds perfectly! No more "soot" in the bottom of my cup

Mimi - also try over the counter uristat or EZO, which are the pyridium painkiller and are a godsend for me if I get a UTI over a weekend, etc.

[OakLeaf]

Pure cranberry juice is expensive and very tart, but it cures the majority of UTIs I've had. OTC Cystex has an antimicrobial as well as an anesthetic. Hope you feel better soon ... and go to urgent care if those remedies don't work, you don't need to be miserable any longer than necessary.

[Biciclista]

it's not THAT bad, I don't need urgent care or painkiller
but I never heard of Uristat or EZO, thank you I will check that stuff out today!!
got the cran juice already thanks again. I think serious flushing (drinking) will get me through the next 24 hours easily.

[channlluv]

It's AZO, and it's great stuff. They have a treatment that works great for yeast infections, too. Good luck knocking out this infection.

Oh right, duh - AZO. (It's been almost a year since my last one! )

And on the jeans thing, I am loving Lucky jeans right now - the fuller thigh ones. They have some straight ones that I don't think could fit over my calves.

[Biciclista]

I find it annoying that Levi's makes a special cut of jeans for MALE bike riders...

[ultraviolet]

Dear self,

Find some patience, please. I know that people are being annoying, but you need to remember to breathe. Quell your instinct to tell them to STFU or HTFU, or whatever other thing pops into your mind when the b*tching, moaning and/or whining starts up. Just breathe. And walk away.

Love,
/me

[NbyNW]

Heh, I like lower-rise jeans. My torso is so short that if I wore regular-rise jeans, the waistband would be somewhere around my rib cage!

Me, too.

Actually I've had really good luck with Levi's over the years. Especially now that they have this new Curve ID thing going on.

ETA: (((Mimi))) Take good care of yourself! UTIs are no fun.

[Crankin]

I could never wear any pants that go around my waist again. I love low rise.

[Owlie]

Dearest grad program--
While I can see that you have the best intentions and that you're all busy doing other things, can you please see fit to somehow get us the information that we need? I don't appreciate being told two days in advance when safety training is, or that we'll get an e-mail (which never actually appears).

[alexis_the_tiny]

Dear Mimi, good luck with it and big hugs. Also, if you can find it, Citravescent is really AWESOME for bladder infections. And I speak from experience.

Dear cyclist who overtook me this morning,

I couldn't help but notice. Perhaps your tights need replacing. Because the lycra was so thin, I could see BOTH BUTTCHEEKS clearly along with the thong you were wearing. I'm not even going to inquire about the thong. :S

[Biciclista]

A serious 24 hours of drinking lots of fluids has unclogged and returned my bladder functions to normal. strange... I'll keep drinking lots but not so much as last night because i want to SLEEP!!!!

my DH is getting more drugs at one time than he's ever had but he seems to be doing just fine too.
thanks for all the hugs.

[jelee1311]

Glad to hear everyone is doing better hope you get some sleep
