People who lie , animal cruelty , boredom and pineapple !
Normally a very upbeat person , am currently feeling very down with yet another bad UTI . Doctor rang me this morning to say that my urine sample contained nitrates so its off to the lab to determine what infection , where it is and the best antibiotics to use . Drinking loads of water which is adding to the very frequent toilet trips , lost count today but suffice to say I daren't stray far ! I guess being older adds to the complications of these blasted infections but as a carer to my disabled husband , I just cant be poorly, its not an option ! Sorry, just needed a moan as I`m feeling pants, pardon the pun ;)

Hope your Doctor lets you know the results soon and that you start to feel better with some treatment/advice.

You cannot help being ill and with a disabled husband who needs you it makes it more difficult.

I think you need some hugs ((((()))))

Really feel for you. I have had my fair share of UTI's and they make you feel so miserable.

Take care.

Thank you , back ache is a bummer, but hopefully will improve when I get the right treatment , the weather is far too lovely to sit inside and feel sorry for myself ;)

The conservative party, people who are cruel to animals and aggressive people
Hope you feel better soon. UTIs are a nuisance - another one who used to get 2/3 a year on a regular basis. Keep drinking the water :)
