I\'ve been there. It triggered all sorts of distructive thoughts. So, you see, you are not alone. All of your feelings are understandable under the circumstances. Your wife will be back from Atlanta soon, and there is no reason why you can\'t call your daughter and maybe go out to dinner with her. Or eat in if money is tight. Just do something. Reach out. It\'s when I don\'t reach out that my brain tries to take over and puts distructive thoughts into my head. Don\'t let it snowball. We are all here for you. You aren\'t alone here.

Many thanx, first message is OK. I am at home with dog on the couch and going out to rent a DVD. Taking it easy tonight. But I know too that fear, while being a terrific motivator later on, is an awful thing at first shot. Good and bad. You are right about the quiet times bringing in the bad destructive thoughts. I have another view on that too, one I should remember for I worked for Aon Group at one time and that job was on the 101st floor of 2 World Trade Center. Yes, I am a survivor of \"that day\". Good perspective but right now things tend to overwhelm the thing.

Quick note:
my daughter just called, she is taking me out to dinner. See, your post worked a bit of magic.

I did a nespron (sp) wash out for a long time to keep infections at bay. Turns out they worked some what but in 2007 in wound up with a bladder stone the size of a baseball that was infection based. The doctor said it was because I had not been emptying correcctly and believed the was keeping the infection at bay. Was why it was so large. So my advice is keep doing what your doing but still get tested to make sure it is really doing all it should be.

we also do that but we use sterile water and they called bladder irrigation. not sure if its the same thing but it has helped we have only had one uti in 10 months.

The niesporin was mixed with sterile water so I still caution people to not be like me and keep a close check on things.

can you tell me more about what it is

for those of us that cath we get bladder infections like crazy. so some doctors give us a wash.

wat i do is on my last cath of the day, i cath until nothing is left than i push this sterile wash up to my bladder. it stays there until the morning than i pee it out. it is to pervent some infections. my doctor that gave me this is at children's national medical center, but i am now 21 an still use it. it is safe for all ages.
