Oh no!! Can they do anything for you besides antibiotics?

Antinausea meds, but basically, just gotta wait for the antibiotic to kick in.

Those are serious. Drink lots of water, and cherry juice is better than cranberry juice. According to the urologist in Denver.

I know. They told me if it gets any worse to go to the ER. Thankfully, it's not getting any worse. I have no desire to go to the ER.

I've been drinking lots of green tea. Some Crystal Light as well, and some ginger ale. I have cranberry supplements that I take, and cran cherry juice. I've been laying off the chai tea and the coke zero. Thankfully no migraines. Chai tea is usually my first line of defense for migraines.

Sympathy like.
I've had floaters since about my early 30's, and at first had no clue what they were...a bit alarming 'til I found out.
I still see them on occasion, but, it seems to be less now than way back then.
Like you related, and as I was also told, thankfully, our brains just kinda' ignore them after a while.

I hope that kicks in soon, it's been over a year now and they still seem like giant buildings to me. That's not to say that I don't manage to forget they are there most of the time, but, they always seem to show up when I need absolutely unobstructed vision. That also doesn't mean that it really strongly influences my vision either. Just plain annoying.

Take care!! Hope you feel better soon!!

Yup the "date" is with the friend he rides the bus with and signed up for chorus and band together. He has his own phone but it gets handed over to me when he walks in the door for the next couple of weeks. he got caught playing games on it past his bed time the other night and woke me up

Oh, naughty naughty! You'll get caughty! (-Peeves the poltergeist) Our kids don't have their own phones yet. But then, we don't have kids calling them all the time on the land line either.

I know....we always said buffalo, but there are some people who get all upset because apparently they are NOT buffalo, that's just what people called them because that was the closest thing they had to what they look like. I knew this guy once (from Texas, actually) and he was one of those people who always knows more than everyone else (when really he doesn't) and he informed me that Wyoming does not have antelope. I said yes we do, people come to hunt them on my dad's ranch. He said no you don't, what you have are deer. And I said yes, we have those TOO, but we also have the Pronghorn antelope and he said those don't exist....you get the picture. So I took a picture of one in my yard and sent it to him. (Incidentally, the same guy argued with me about national parks and said Wyoming doesn't have any, and I said we have Yellowstone and he informed me that that was in California. Google it, dude, you're thinking of Yosemite.) Whatever....big furry animal. But I know some people are very....strict, I guess? about technicalities, so therefore the quotation marks.

What?!?!?! Someone from Texas claiming they know it all?!?!?!
I guess "Bison Bill" woulda' sounded fine, but, maybe "buffalo" is just more fun to say...?
Actually, I think I'm just gonna' call 'em "heffalo" from now on...!!!

Up until middle school it was only his bff who called all the time

Half-day Friday...!!!!!!!

Full day Friday for me. One kid is gone(he knows to be quiet coming in), one in his room for the night watching a movie and dh is leaving in a bit. Movie night for me. I'll most likely fall asleep watching whatever I put in but I'll be wearing comfy jammies

Homecoming dance details were released today and James already has a "date" Oh joy now he "needs" a new tie to wear View attachment 234318at least it's subtle 2 others have also called asking if he had plans. Time to unplug phone!

And so it begins....

My son, his Freshman year homecoming date, fly by the seat of your pants kid...its Tuesday, late night. I'm at my desk on the computer preparing for a school board meeting the next evening. He joins me, so excited and announces he is going to Homecoming (that upcoming Saturday) Everything just wizzes though my head at once and it isn't the school board policy I'm trying to wrap my brain around anymore.

Me: You are? With who?

DS: Catie

Me: Catie who?

DS: Catie Kxxxxxx

Me: (now eyes bugging out) Catie Kxxxxx???? Dr. Kxxxxx Daughter????

Me: Wow. How do you know her?

DS: My History Class. You know you know her Mother right???

Me: Yeah. Well tomorrow night should be interested. Our Assistant Superintendent's DD. (mind wanders cause this DS best now better be above and beyond the perfect gentleman. Mind wanders more....we know 8th grad grad suit doesn't fit, barely fit new for graduation. Can't take him tonight, too late, board meeting tomorrow, Thursday suit shopping with Homecoming Saturday.
Flowers. Where are we getting flowers on 3 days notice.

Me: Do your shoes still fit?

DS: Returns. No.

Me: Well going to Homecoming! How exciting.

I hope you guys hid my frying pan in a secured location. The latest rumor is nights may last until the 1st of December

I didn't hide the frying pan! I am in a helpful mood. I took it out of the cabinet and set it on your nightstand so it would be within reach for easy access. It is a quality frying pan so it is reusable.

Doing a happy dance!! One of the bullies has been expelled! Now..I DO have a question...what did he have to do to accomplish this feat? He was a kid from the other school...they have been at this school for 6 weeks and he's already gone. In the past several years, my son has been kicked, pushed down, pushed off the top of a slide, slammed against a wall, spit on, snapped with a towel, tripped, had a ball kicked at him repeatedly as hard as possible, and various other infractions and none of those kids were ever even disciplined much less expelled. So, as my husband says "Where's the body?" because he must have murdered someone to get kicked out in 6 weeks!!

Edit: I realize I knew a bully had been expelled, but until today, we weren't sure if it was one of DS's bullies, but DS was told today that this particular kid was not coming back to school, that they were looking for another school for him and then an email was sent to all the parents in his class saying this kid is absent until they find him a new situation. So it was confirmed that it was this kid, and it's just a HUGE relief!!!

Amen!

 

[Gabe1]

Yeah, I still don't know what my dad died from. I guess that's the thing...we expect it when someone has been sick, but not when they have been healthy, or we didn't KNOW if they were sick. It's so hard when it comes out of the blue like that. I'm so sorry.

I knew what was going to cause my Dad to die. He had a blood clot in his heart that they couldn't break down and actually kept getting larger and had bouts of it cutting off the oxegyn levels and he'd go bazauko and talk gibberish, rip out tubes etc. Came more frequently as the clot grew. Me, ultimately saying just let him go this next time....

I say this only 'cause I was out to dinner with my cousin the host of his parents 90th Birthdays and 60th Anniversay about 20 people. I took my Mom since she doesn't drive at night. Host sis, that lives in Ohio now asks my Mom what my Dad died of. My Mom answers MRSA. I looked at her and said as nicely as I could in a fancy restaurant 'not so much' he had an infection but certainly not what got my Dad in the end. Mom starts spewing all these things from the infection that lead to my Dads death, ewe (fancy restaurant-celebration) Shortly there after Mom goes off to the Restroom. I look across he table at my cousin and psst...he had a huge blood clot in his heart, it wasn't MRSA that got him. Cousin surprised, could tell she was confused. I explained that she needed at this point in my Moms life...smile and nod and pretty much know that the 'stories' she tell maybe fiction these days.

I say this 'cause just because you are told what someone passed away from doesn't always mean that was really what made them pass in reality.

Thank you. Right now I want to be Garfield, take a box air holes optional mark it to somewhere not nice and shove somebody in it

My Dad was a contractor. Lots of stuff still in their basement. Boxes and boxes of duct tape.

I can be helpful.
