ugh* back from doctor*
[
]
i called this morning to make a doctor’s appointment so that’s where i’ll be this afternoon. i was in pain last night so i thought i’d better go in. i think it’s a bladder infection and i don’t feel like turning that into a kidney infection so off i go. i’m glad i have a doctor i can get into the same day i call. dennis has to wait weeks to get into his.
so i feel like crap and i’m supposed to start that new job today. as soon as i get the info. oh well.i can do it later on. i haven’t heard back from the girl about nursery school so i guess sawyer won’t be going this week. i wonder if she went away? she and her kids and hubby weren’t at the optimist hockey night yesterday (dennis is part of our local optimist group.) dennis took sawyer and didn’t see her there. sawyer enjoyed the game. he was yelling "go go go" at the players, i guess. lol. so cute.
i got some cute pics last night so i might come back later with those. i dunno. see how i feel.

* i got antibiotics for a lung (i don’t know if it’s an infection or just phlegm on the lungs or pneumonia or what. he was muttering to himself and said "i can hear it" and something about lungs when listening to my chest…? LOL he’s eccentric and sometimes mutters to himself like that)and bladder infection and prescription cough syrup for at night so i can sleep again. 
things will be looking up soon. sawyer was being noisy and upset that we were waiting so they got me in as fast as they could. they’re learning a new system so they were behind. my doctor is pretty great. they have receptionists now so the nurses don’t have to do that duty anymore. and they get you in right away, esp. if your child has an emergency need for the doctor or something.
we did groceries after and i got a new vogue. 
and conditioner, pens (only 87 cents for some reason), and razors (the crappy ones i bought last time rip my legs up. yuck. i got venus razors again. haha. dennis hates taking me with him b/c it always costs more.
jon and kate plus 8 starts up again tonight. dennis and i enjoy them. she’s so anal. he’s a butthead. they’re hilarious, those two. i’d be nuts if i had that many kids, i tell ya!
start that job tomorrow. *yay* it pays every thursday. that’ll be great. i’ll be making us a little more money each month. my other one pays once a month but they paid right on time this month. they’ve taken a bit long before, so i’m glad they got the creases ironed out. i’m so glad to be recognized as a writer and paid for it too. 
i’ll be writing about my relationship, to put it simply, with this new job.
some pics for a noter who asked.
sawyer’s new trike
his new shoes
hope you enjoyed those!

Glad you liked the pics of the dogs I shared in the entry My Mom’s Dogs and My Brothers and Mom Pictures. Not sure what you mean by lightening, but that is ok. The pics were so small in that entry because that is how I got the pics sent to me. Now I see why taking a kickboxing class on Mondays is a pain for Dennis. That is good you wouldn’t need to drive Sawyer to nursery schoolbecause it’s right in the town you live in. Just because a place is in the same town a person lives in doesn’t always mean it’s in a location that a person can walk to to get there. When you say you wouldn’t need to drive Sawywer to nursery school do you mean you would walk there. Since Sawyer’s bday is so close to Christmas does that mean you have to save some gifts you buy for Christmas to use for his bday instead. How far in advance did you take Sawyer with you when you bought the tricycle for him?

When you answer this note please put it on private. Thanks. Why do you and Dennis not use the same doctor? Do you not both have a family doctor? That is nice you were able to see the doctor you made an appointment with the same day. How come Dennis can’t see his doctor the same day or the next day? How did you get to the doctor you made an appointment with? Did you walk or did someone drive you to the appointment? Why do you feel you had or might have had a bladder infection? Did you end up having a bladder infection or get any medication for the pains that you thought might be a bladder infection? Did you have to pee in a cup to find out if you had a bladder infection? How long will your new job be for? How long have you had the other job you said pays once a month? What did you mean by you’ll be writing about your relationship. Thanks for sharing the pic(s) of the trike for me.

When you respond to anything related to this entry please put it on private thanks. I hope whatever I have been going through since the middle of Nov 07 is just a bladder infection. I reread this entry and you did say you had a bladder infection. How did the doctor know it was a bladder infection and what is the name of the medication you were prescribed for the bladder infection. How long doyou have to take the medicine for the bladder infection? Is this the first time you had had a bladder infection. Where were the pains you had to make you feel you could have had a bladder infection?

Hope you’re feeling better soon!

The town you live in must be very small to be able to walk to so many places. I know where I live I couldn’t walk to most places in the city I live in. For instance to go to the home improvement store my bf likes going to it takes 15-20 minutes by car to get there. If it rained on the day you had to take Sawyer to nursery school than would you just walk with an umbrella. That is a shame Sawyer can’t go to nursery school this year. If he could have gone to nursery school would you and Dennis have to pay for that yourself and if he could go would he go to the school in the summer or just the spring, winter, and fall months. If Dennis works how was he able to drive you to the doctor. Did he leave work early and drop you off and than came back for you and Sawyer? How do you know enough to write about relationships? Are you saying you have to take two types of medication for the bladder infection? How often do you get a bladder infection? Did you have pains when going to the bathroom?

That is good you don’t believe in saving a couple presents from christmas for sawyer (unless i have to financially.) Thanks for pointing out if his bday were in july, would you save presents from christmas for him. I hadn’t thought of it that way. How did you decide which presents to give Sawyer on his bday and which ones to give him on Christmas? Sorry I thought you said the “lightening” in the picture was good. Thanks for telling me you had said the LIGHTING was good. When you say the light and shade is important to the overall quality of a picture do you mean the more light there is when a pic is being taken the better the pic will come out. What I mean is sometimes I do notice when I try to take a pic of something the pic is to dark to see it. If that is what you meant than I think I know now what you meant by lighting.

Ryn: I used to use a 35mm camera when she was pretty small. But since her memory has started really working with in the last year she only recalls the digital. Its funny because she just doesnt get why the pictures just wont come out of that camera.

Glad the doc gave you some meds for your infection. I really like Jon and Kate Plus 8! Sadly, I missed it last night because of my brother’s birthday party. Hope I can catch it sometime this week or next week’s episode. You gotta keep reminding me haha or else I’ll totally forget. I love the photos of you guys and Sawyer’s Tonka bike.

Please respond to this on private. My doctors appointment is on Tues Jan 15 at 10AM EST which is a week from today. I could have seen the doctor on Thurs Jan 3, but I probably wouldn’t have been able to get a ride to it that soon if I didn’t want to use a taxi to get there since I called for the appointment in Jan 2. When you asked me if I pee more do you mean do I pee more than 5 times aday? I don’t know how many times a day I pee, but it probably is more than I usually did before the middle of Nov 07. I am not sure where the bladder is located to know if there is pain there. The only time I get blood when I wipe is when I have my period. I am not sure if I have gone through chills. Do you mean feeling as though I am cold even though it’s not cold in the room I am in. Usually if I get diarrhea it’s a few days before I have my period. What did the doctor look for in the pee sample you gave him and did you have to use a wipe with alcohol on it before doing the pee sample. Thanks for telling me how you know you have a bladder infection.

When you have a bladder infection does your pants feel tight around the waist and do you feel pains on your side(s) (is the sides where the abdomen is located). When did you get your first bladder infection and does the doctor you see call it a UTI instead of a bladder infection or does he call it both things. The only time I had blood when I wiped when I shouldn’t have was the 3 days after I hadmy very light period in Oct 07 that I thought was just spotting. Is the blood you are talking about just on the toilet paper or in the toilet as well. Is the blood you are talking about different than spotting. Has a docotor ever told you what causes the bladder infections you get?

Did Sawyer just turn 2 on Dec 30? How many years do children in Canada go to nursery school for? In the US we call nursery school preschool I belive. I think children in the US can go to preschool at age 4 to age 5 or 6 depending on if they are ready to go to kindergarten. If it would be free for Sawyer to go to nursery school after age 2.5 than why did you want him to go to nursery school now.What I meant by how do you know enough to write about relationship(s) is doesn’t a person need to know enough about a topic to write about it where they will get paid for the writting. What type of relationship(s) are you going to write about? Will it be about human relationship(s) or something else? Yes, I do recall you writting in your diary about being sick. Are you saying you take 3 medications right now due to the bladder infection and the coughing you have been having. When you get blood due to the bladder infection are you saying no blood ends up on your underwear because it’s so little blood? Do you get a bladder infection at least once a year since you had your first bladder infection?
Warning Comment
Now I see why you wanted Sawyer to go to nursery school even if it cost you and Dennis money for him to go. I am not sure how I got 3 meds that you got from the doctor yesterday. What do you mean you don’t get blood every time you get a bladder infection b/c it doesn’t always get that far? Why woudld a bladder infection left too long might get blood?

he’s lucky to have such a cool bike
Nick won’t go on his at all. It may be a little big though… it’s a two wheel with training wheels.

That is nice you can prevent blood in your urine due to a bladder infection because you can catch it before it gets to that point. When you first got a bladder infection in your teens did you know it was a bladder infection or you had no idea what it could have been? When you feel you have a bladder infection do you usually see a doctor the same week it happens.

This is the set of instructions that I found, it’s kinda confusing to look at, but probably not as hard as it looks. However, the easiest way is just to cut off the sock right above the heel, like it shows in the pictures, and just stop there. The cuff is not so terribly necessary. Maybe when I actually have a few free hours, I might attempt to make them with the cuffs. http://www.flickr.com/photos/babyhopes/sets/72157594274454468/detail/

Im sorry you are unwell still, hon! Im glad you got some meds! You have GOT to tell me where you got his trike! THAT is PERFECT! I’ve been looking for something like that but never find the one that is “right”. as for the thomas starter set http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2743335 Toys r us has TONS of variety in the extra trains as well. The one nearest me had a good collection of the movies as well and most of them you can pay 1 extra dollar and get a train as well and even some of the special additions!

You said you try to get in as soon as you have serious symptoms due to a bladder infection. What do you consider serious symptoms? Have you ever had to see a doctor twice for the same bladder infection? How does drinking cranberry juice help the bladder infection go away?

When you got your first bladder infection in your teens what did you think you had? Do you ever get a fever when you get a bladder infection? Do you usally get a bladder infection when you are sick with something else or do you usually get a bladder infection when nothing else is wrong with you.
