Clean bill--almost
Fri Mar 18 2005

Saw my doctor this morning. He checked me over, and decided I'll probably live to encounter another health problem.

I'm to continue the antibiotic for another 7 days, for a total of 10, continue drinking gallons of water, and cranberry juice is good too. Also, until this is completely cleared up, I'll be drinking herbal tea instead of caffeinated tea. There's not nearly as much caffeine in tea as there is in coffe, but it's still a bladder irritant when the bladder is irritated, anyway.

Lungs are clear.

Joints work, more or less.

As long as I was in the area, decided to stop at WalMart and get some things. They didn't have the food Banshee likes, so I had to make another stop at the pet store.

OK, as long as I'm making stops along the way, I went to Vic's IGA Market and stocked up on fruits and veggies. But I still don't have anything in the house to cook, unless it's brown rice or Irish oatmeal.

And on the subject of Irish, are ye wearin' o' the green today?

Shalom

    Even though I claim 1 quarter Irish ancestry, I don't get into the green thing much. It's my Scots blood that flows the hottest I think. Don't know why. Just feel it.

    Glad you are on the mend.

    Glad to hear you are doing better! As you well know, we are big tea drinkers around here and I cannot praise the stuff enough. It calmes, soothes, and tastes mighty delicious, lol.

    Hugs & Love

    I'm glad you hear you are much better! As for the wearin' 'o the green, I'm actually *anti-green* (red) from head to toe today! It wasn't intentional, but we know all about my rebellious nature.
    Hugs,

    Well, I'm glad you got checked over! Arrghhhhhhhhhh. Hope it is ALL better SOON!!!!

    My cats like Friskies Loaf for their wet food, and I feed them very cheap dry food also. I give them each a quarter of a small can twice a day - it was about $10.00 for 36 cans at Sam's Club which I thought was not so bad! They don't like the chunks and gravy kind of thing at all.

    Oh, what would we ever do without the little sweeties?
