I've used the test strips a bunch and I think they are pretty accurate.
I had my first dental cleaning since my deep cleaning and my gums are healing ! Yay. They have this new scan they do now so it makes a 3D scan and you can see it on screen in full color .
Since this is up in Brevard I came up last night after work which was good because there was a major storm this morning. Hail! Lightning! Wind! Mom want to McDonald's this morning and there was tree that had fallen over 4 employees' cars .
The condo next to mom is for sale for $239k the woman who lived there for 40 years has passed away. Around the corner is another condo for sale for $249k. These are under 900sq feet. The condo around the corner sold in 2018 for $70,000. That's how crazy the housing prices are in Brevard.
Trudy has your mom tried taking D-mannose supplements? It's what makes cranberry juice effective against UTis and my urologists have suggested I take it to help prevent a UTI or during one to shorten the duration.
askye, I'll take a look! Thanks!
In excellent news, March 16th is National Artichoke Day and the vegetarian entrée in our dining room is Artichoke Francese. For future knowledge, anyone who wishes to fry artichoke hearts and serve them to me with a lemony sauce and some parmesan polenta should do so.
Trudy, pre-emptively testing for a UTI seems like a good idea in your mom's case, because it could head off any problems before they have a chance to turn into huge problems. (My own dad has a UTI and still hasn't seen a doctor for it, which means he's going to go crazy if he hasn't already — literally crazy, like hallucinating people in his apartment — and I've had a cold since last week [thanks, Tim] that just keeps getting worse, so I don't have the capacity to go physically wrangle Dad to the doctor. I expect him to hit Code Blackwatch Plaid by Thursday.)
Also it was in the 70s yesterday and it's snowing now, which is some kind of bullshit. I feel personally attacked by the snow.
literally crazy, like hallucinating people in his apartment
Yyyyup.
I feel like if I had a Senior facility of any sort they'd be peeing in cups twice a week. Once when mom was in rehab and looped out I looked in the day room and thought "Do half these people just have UTIs?" Its staggering.
