A Busy Day

Wednesday, March 4, 2009-10:15 AM   This is going to be another busy day. I am going to see my psychologist this afternoon. Last week I was unable to see her, because I was not feeling well due to the UTI I have had. I need to follow up on a few things that we discussed two weeks ago. One of them concerns her trying to find a support group for male survivors of sexual abuse. That second one deals with a book that she wanted me to read called, The Shack. It was written by William Young, and I would highly recommend it to anyone.   A number people of people have written concerning possible ways in which I might be able to treat and/or stop getting future UTI.'s. I want to thank everyone for his or her suggestions. I am scheduled to see a urologist at the end of March. I will discuss the possibility of using probiotics and vitamins with him at that time. Someone also suggested using Activia, but I cannot eat yogurt.   I am taking a very strong antibiotic, which seems to be helping me a lot. Years ago, when I did not have a UTI, I used to take an antibiotic on a daily basis just to prevent me from getting a UTI. That worked for a long time, and I do not know why I was ever taken off of the medication.   Tomorrow or Friday, my sister and I are going to take back the speakerphone that I bought about three weeks ago. When I speak, the sound at the other and of the line is very distorted, according to the people I talk with. There is no sense spending a lot of money for something that does not work well. My sister is going to take the phone back to the store, and I am going to meet her there. The phone is too big and heavy for me to carry, which is why my sister is going with me. I am going to see if they will have another phone that will better suit my needs.   I am having some problems sleeping at night. I have already talked to my doctor about this, but he says I am already taking too many medications, and that he prefers not to prescribe something else for me. I have to agree with him on this.
