Happy Syttende Mai to all of my Norwegian and Norwegian-by-proxy friends! Living in Stoughton, I would be participating in many of the weekend events.

I saw the Urologist on Tuesday and learned that there is no infection now and that my bladder is emptying as it should be. She suggested that I make sure that the cranberry supplement that I take is for urinary support and contains at least 36 mg of PAC  and D-Mannose (limits e-coli bacteria from adhering to bladder walls). What I had been taking must be for dietary support.

My third doctor appointment this week was with my primary care provider and we just reviewed all of the other results and I have no further actions to take other than possibly   COQ-10 supplement for cramping in my hands and feet that has been going on for a while.  No more doctor appointments for a while - Yay!

I helped out with the girls after school on Tuesday and Thursday as Ben was out of town on a business trip and Jill wasn’t able to get home in time.  I took the twins to swim practice and fed them some dinner.  Charlotte sang in a choir performance Wednesday night at her school and that was very enjoyable to watch. The 7th grade Honor Choir got to perform three songs in the annual 8th Grade Concert. 

Cathy joined me for dinner and a drink last night and we had a great chat. I made pizza and a huge salad and she came to the door with a huge salad too.  Guess we didn’t communicate that very well and will be eating lots of salad over the next few days.  I love it and won’t have a problem at all. It is what I have most nights for dinner - a salad and a protein is about the extent of my cooking these days.
