Thanks, Burrell.
Unfortunately, I just realised that there's some stuff this morning that I'm the only one capable of doing at this short notice, so it's just a half day. Hmmph.
Aren't they something. They're like butterflies, or little pieces of wrapping paper blowing around.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Ugh. Matilda is still having discomfort when she pees. We went to the doctor four weeks ago for this and she had a UTI and she took antibiotics and it went away.
She was very not happy about taking the medicine multiple times a day ("It tastes like dragon snot!") but she did. All better!
Wrong. Five days later she's got a rash down there and it hurts to pee again.
Back to the doctor. New sample proves to be negative. No UTI. The antibiotic killed off the good flora and now she's got a yeast infection. We get a new antibiotic too while we wait for the culture to come back, take that for a couple days then stop on doctor's orders when its not a UTI. And we get a creme lotion for the yeast infection.
But now it hurts again when she pees. The crying on the potty. The yelping. It's saddening and mysterious. Is it a new UTI? Is it the yeast infection? My big hope for xmas is non-traumatic peeing.

Oh, god, yeast infection at her age? Poor, poor noodle. That itch is one of Satan's inventions.

Aw, poor Matilda. And poor-Matilda parents. That sounds like a whole lot of no fun at all.
Having had a lot of pee drama with Taz lately (the only reason I bring it up is because it totally dominated our lives for 6 weeks so it's still fresh in my memory), I will say that you have a bit of an advantage with her being able to communicate her symptoms to you. Though of course that communication is stressful to all.

I hope Matilda's all better soon! That really sucks, especially at this time of year.

WTF people. You suck! The capper is that the ninja asked the priest to pray for him as he left.

That's awful, Hec. Does M. take baths, or showers? I ask because I had a spate of that as a kid and switching to showers helped(Of course, my lack of mobility contributed.) The doc said too much sitting in my dirt. He probably used more words that that.

Poor Matilda! My suggestion is eating lots of yogurt with antibiotics next time, if she will eat yogurt.

There's yogurt with antibiotics? I've only seen yogurt with probiotics.

Yeah, yogurt helps. Also, if her doc recommends cranberry juice, put 7-up in it. But there are pills, too.
