I’m not lucky when it comes to having a certain kind of fun with my spouse. I almost always end up paying for it somehow.
As per usual, we had some fun the other night, and I ended up with a UTI.

I did the normal things, took AZO for 48 hrs, took my ACV gummies twice a day as normal, and switched from coffee to tea in the mornings with a drop of oregano essential oil since it is said to be “nature’s” antibiotic. Of course, I knew I’d have to involve a doctor at some point, because none of those things totally gets rid of the infection.
(a side note-sitting in the car for several hours during our recent trip to Ohio probably didn’t do me any favors either.)
Where I got lucky, was having a fabulous kidney Dr. who called in orders for me to have my urine tested so he knew what kind of antibiotics to prescribe me, saving me an office visit. When you have no insurance anymore, things like this help with costs. I did said test this morning, and now we wait and see what grows for the next two days before I get any antibiotics. Thank goodness the bad pain is gone, but I’m left with the annoying frequency and urge to urinate.
We are also lucky in the fact that we are saving the cost of a rental car while the Jeep is in the shop fixing a broken fuel line. My brother went and got his Bronco registered and tagged so we can drive it to our necessary appointments and errands. That right there saved us $$$. On a funny note, I will never complain about the Jeep’s noise again after riding around in that rattletrap of a Bronco, but I have no misgivings toward my brother about it. He rarely uses it and never took the time to really work on it, but I’m thankful we have a vehicle to use! It’s over 30 yrs old, after all.
Tomorrow, we go see what the surgeon tells Dave about his upcoming MOHS surgery and how soon it’s going to happen. Keep my hubby in your prayers, I’m praying we get lucky on that subject as well. ☺️
