Goodmorning Cali..

Unfortunately I am up so early this morning. Reason why, a bladder and kidney infection.. This thing is killing me. My PCP told me to drink a lot of water, and that should flu**** out. I have been drinking so much water I can float, but doesn't seem to be helping. And of course it is now the weekend and my PCP is not available, so if I can't hold off till Monday, then I will be taking a trip real soon to the ER..

Other than that things are going really good. I am trying to get out everyday. Yesterday I took my kids (along with my daughters BF) to have a picnic at the park and do some walking and playing. I am not sure what the plan is today, but if it is a beautiful day, maybe the beach, or the aquarium or something.  We will have to see.

I am going to try and pee again for the 100th time and lay back down a bit.. hopefully catching a bit more sleep as I have been up and down all night.

I hope you all enjoy your Saturday..


Hugs,
Jenn

Jenn sure hope that you get to feeling better soon...kidney and bladder infections are no fun whatsoever....very painful! Hope you have a good day in spite of it all and stay close to the potty so you can dribble along!

Good Monrning Jenn,

Sorry that you are not feeling well today We must have been posting at the same time. this morning.  Cranberry juice comes to mind with what you have but I am not sure we can drink that as it has so much sugar.  So I am no help.  So sorry.  Did you ever find Madame Joy?  I heard she was doing some traveling and that was the last I heard of her.  I hope she is o.k.  I am trying to talk her into coming down here in May with MoMo, but who knows.  You all have a great day and try and feel better soon.

Poor Jenn. . . . NO FUN at ALL!  I have a friend with the same thing right now .. .she is miserable.

Today I'm sort of "on  call" for when Dawn gets released from the hospital - and I have a friend (and her 2 year old) on schedule for a road trip to get her and her car home -

Tonight I'm focing my house to doing Earth Day (Earth Hour???) from 8:30 to 9:30.  I said no computers TV , phones . . . and if you aren't happy with that.. .go visit someone else.  All the candles my daughter has, it can be like daylight in here anyway!

We definitely have a team of 6 so far for the 3-Day in Seattle . . . we should be signing up this week.  WOW  I AM nuts!  Now I'm going to make big floppy hats for all of us - well not make the hats - but decorate the hell out of them . .. lace, ribbon, flowers, pearls . . . I used to make them every year beause I don't do sun well . .. and I've sold several off our heads at Disneyland . . . so that will be fun.  I've also decided I'm going to get pictures of people I know who had breast cancer and make this like senior year book size, laminate them, and add them to the hat too.  I'll ask anyone who wants me to wear a picture to just get it to me!

OK . . . trying to get in water and this one pill that insists in trying to get stuck every morning . . . and it can't be cut or crushed . .. so that will keep me busy for a few minutes!

Hugs everyone!

Oh hun, I'm so sorry you're feeling bad. 

I just got over a bladder infection this past week too. My dr. gave me Bactrim anti-biotics and had me drink, tunzzzzz of water and cranberry juice.  I bought the diet cran-grape. 

I sure hope you get to feeling better soon, that pressure and feeling of gotta go right now and then just tinkle is horrible.  Take care and God Bless.  

Hugs to you,  Donna

Hey Jenn
Sooo sorry to hear your suffereing...just not right for someone who is so giving and careing about others :-(  I started to have a kidney problem when I first got home after surgery...started to have that 'someone hit me in the back' feeling...really had to concentrate on getting the water in. Luckily I was able to ward off it progressing to anything serious.  I suggest trying the sugar-free or diet cranapple juice..maybe it will help flush the kidneys?  I've been told to dilute any juices with water...so no sure how effective it will be.  Sure hope you get to feeling better!  You are a trooper tho...hurting and still going out of your way for others. You are tops in my book!

Jenn,
I hope you are feeling better soon! Those bladder infections are the pitts! Cranberry juice helps wonders! I think oceanspray has a light cran juice with less sugar. anyway GET WELL SOON!!
