How are you today?

[Pappy]

Doing okay this morning, maybe because I haven’t done a darn thing yet. Plan on vacuuming the apartment later and then the aches and pains will start.

 

[IrishEyes]

Breakfast with neighbor, then a stop at the new Ollie's in town (love that store)
Then back home to pry DH off his PC chair to go get his glasses that are ready.
Feeling happy, cheerful and ready for the day!

Hey, you made it to the mailbox and back. That right there is cause for celebration

 

[dusty]

Today I feel better then I thought I would, as yesterday I cleaned the kitchen, dusted the entire apt, and vac'ed the living room and hallway. I have a DR appt Monday so had to cancel my housekeeper that day. Today I am going to finish the 3rd bobbin of wool, and then over the weekend wind off all 3 into hanks, and then set the twist in them. That's the hard part for me as my right shoulder hates me.

Have a good weekend, everyone!

 

[Trish]

Good evening everyone

It's been a busy week here, especially as we have a lot of October birthdays, both family and friends. Today was a family gathering, so nice to catch up with everyone. Tomorrow we have nothing planned so, I am hoping for a restful day as we are out again on Sunday.

@hawkdon Well done for at least getting to the mailbox! I know a couple of people who, for various health reasons, cannot leave their homes at all.

 

[hearlady]

OMG! There's such a thing as too much chocolate? I could have gone all day without hearing about that.

Yes too much dark chocolate. I guess it's a thing. I'm relieved you don't have it. I don't think you could take it!

 

[hearlady]

The days are getting cooler now .. I love it!

Today, we are meeting up with our eldest nephew and his wife, at a Japanese restaurant. They are treating us, to celebrate our October birthdays. Mine is past,
O/H's is later in the month. Should be a lovely day

Have fun Pinky!

So, friends, remember the UTI I have been recently dealing with...AGAIN??? Well, it is back. Just came back from dropping of yet another sample. Last time there was e-coli mixed in with the other bugs

 

[dusty]

What does your doctor tell you to do to end these? You might not be wiping properly. Check it out on the net and I think you'll see what I mean.

Better hand washing. I have a bidet for cleaning...does a good job. I see my primary next week. Going to chat with her

 

[Georgiagranny]

I'm probably fine but won't know for sure until I'm awake.

DD and DGD are getting ready to head to the city for the No Kings protest. Wish I could go but I know my limitations and wouldn't be able to do all that walking and standing. DGD wears a back brace; it's only been five weeks since her surgery, but she's game. Of course, she's 60 years younger than I am...

Ooh, I hope she's careful in that crowd.

Maybe take a cranberry supplement daily? I know you've tried about everything.

 

[Lewkat]

All thumbs.

 

[Georgiagranny]

All thumbs.

Like this?

Yes..I take cranberry pills

Felt a little discombobulated this morning, fortunately it didn’t last too long. Woke in the night to a bad dream about being trapped in a closed space and unable to move. Then spent a long time awake thinking about my fear of having a stroke. This has been on my mind because recently two friends had a strokes. One is in very bad shape.

I’ll make myself do energetic things today. Live life while I can.

 

[dusty]

Today new day for me. Feel alert and almost pain free, especially in my shoulder. I put a lidocaine patch on it last night and no pain. I am looking forward to a decent day.

 

[dusty]

Yes..I take cranberry pills

Have you though of really deep cleaning your bathroom to the point of using bleach on the potty? I'm sure it is clean, but maybe there are little germy things hanging around. Also, do you use a scented or organic type soap for your body when batheing or showering? Don't use them. They are right up there with the causes of UTIs.

Also in sme older women, the hormone level is lower wich disrupts the natural PH from being in the bladder. Do you see a Gynny fo this or a regular Dr?

 

[Pinky]

The a/c - heat system in our living room, needs replacing. We've been here over 20 yrs., so, it's not a surprise. Just waiting for the other service guy's to do the rest of the work this afternoon. The first guy did his part, earlier.

We had planned to have lunch at a Jamaican restaurant. I guess we'll do that tomorrow.

 

[Marie5656]

@dusty I have an aide who comes in 3 times a week. She monitors my showing (I am a fall risk) and does light cleaning...including bathroom. She is a retired LPN. I see my doctor in a few days, going to ask. I have a bidet on my toilet. I will ask about the soaps.

 

[mrstime]

Pretty sure black is ok but ugggggg.

For more years than I can count DH drank his coffee black, then in the past few years he uses Splenda in his coffee. He used to drink several cups during the day, now he has just one cup in the morning.

How long have you had the bidet and how long has your extended period of UTI’s been happening. The spray may be spreading Ecoli.

 

[Georgiagranny]

Once again, I might be fine but won't know until I'm awake. That darned cat was purring in my ear again at 5am.

I've had coffee on the teeny tiny patio. It's not raining yet, but the radar shows a big wall of water headed this way and about to dump on us. Yaaaaay! It might even be enough to do some good.
