I've been fighting bladder infections for over 3 years. I'm so sick of the pain and bloating. I'm so sick of the fevers and backaches. I'm so sick of taking antibiotics and more antibiotics and more antibiotics.
I'm just so sick of being sick! It's depressing! The costs of seeing a doctor every single time I need more antibiotics, then the cost of the medication. And uri-stat is no longer working for me. I'm in such pain tonight, I can barely stand it.
The docs say that if I can't void, then I go to the hospital. I can still let out a drop or two at a time and I'm full. I've had glasses and glasses of water to flush me out.
I've done a lot of research on the internet and there seem to be two conditions that are like mine - Interstatial Cystitis and an e-coli condition where the bacteria embeds itself into the bladder lining. IC can be diagnosed by doing a cystoscopy using a potassium wash. I've never had this procedure, but a doctor reported that he did it & charged for it. He was after a lot of $$ & I fired him. But the damage was done. Now, I'm paying the price. I take water pills and potassium - so guess what! I'm miserable because I'm having this "test" every day.
I'm so fed up with all the doctors and their money grubbing ways. I'm just so sick of being sick.

State of Denial!
Bush's State of the Union address last night was again filled with lies, prevarications and downright untruths. The man really doesn't even know he's lying - so he's in a total state of denial.
The only way Iraq can be better is if there are no Americans dying. And the only way to make that happen is to bring them all home. The American people no longer have to be the policemen of the globe. If factions of Islam want to kill each other off, so much the better. Why don't we just cordon the whole region off, keep all the killers in with all the other killers and when they stop killing each other open talks? OIL! So, nobody wants to ride a horse anymore???
My whole generation lost their men. The ones who came back from Viet Nam were pretty much messed up beyond reason. Now, we are doing the same thing to our grandkids. Enough already!
Education is messed up totally! The Economy? What a mess!
Tax relief? Hey - give every person (not companies) who make less than $25K a year a complete tax amnesty. All tax money (except SSI & Medicare) are returned at tax time. That includes sales tax, since the lower income person pays a proportionally larger amount of them anyway.
This "stimulus package" won't help with my rent this month. It won't help with gas, food or electricity. So, as far as it goes for low income folks, it's pretty much useless. $300 doesn't even feed the family for a month.
Education - Stop trying to manage it! Let people in the cities and towns do that. They did a pretty good job in the '50s and can do it again. They will. Maybe if it didn't take TWO INCOMES to support a family of 4 - unlike the '50s when one income did it, we would have less trouble - less gangs and after school problems, less drugs, less entitlement issues. Kids today think they deserve and are entitled to their own room and bathroom, a car of their own at 16 or before, a cell phone - hey, forget it! Share with your sibling and call me by 4pm! From a payphone! And if you don't like it, you're grounded with extra chores. TV removed, radio removed and supervised, unplugged computer time only.
Health Care - That's a total mess! 9 million getting tax relief so they can get health insurance? What if the insurance costs more than you make in a month???????
Get over it. We need a national health insurance that works. Take a model from the Canadians (where my job went) or European countries. Figure it out, but get it done.
Partisan Politics? Yeah! You Bet! As long as that person is in the White House, that's what's going to happen. He insists on doing it his way. I hope that 2/3 majority will kick him in the behind when January 2009 rolls around. He's a total lame duck and doesn't know how to live. Such megalomania!
Get over it, Mr. Bush. You are an ass who needs a hole to crawl into - ask Cheney if he will let you.....

I Admit to Being Quiet
I admit it - I've been pretty quiet.
I'm watching all the hoopla around the primaries and caucuses.
My picks:
Huckabee and Clinton.
This is not to say that either will win or that there aren't other good candidates.
Actually, I like Obama, but I don't think he's got a chance of surviving the race. I mean that with the utmost of love, too. It's been a while since the Kennedys and that fellow who shot at Reagan. Long enough that folks have forgotten it all. I'm afraid for Obama.
I like Huckabee - but I also like Ron Paul! Paul has some goooood stuff to say! But I think that Huckabee has the moral compass we need in the White House - if you want another republican there.
I'm decidedly not republican. What is my party? I register democrat but I vote my conscience.
I actually posted to Clinton - and I supported her husband. I deal with stuff that I want to see her address.
As for being quiet - Bush has no reason in the world to go over to Palestine or Israel other than to boost his ratings. If the region was that important to him, he would have gone a long time ago. I don't trust him or his cronies and I never will. I'd love the see the asshole put in a deep, dark cell for the rest of his life. He needs to be castrated, and all his $$ stripped & given to homeless shelters around the country. And that goes for his cronies, too.
So, there! Phhht!
