Yesterday afternoon I was thinking that I might need another day at home. By mid-afternoon I'd developed severe heartburn that lasted for about three hours. I was miserable! I called the nurse I'd spoken to the day before about my UTI, and she recommended a couple of over-the-counter medications. She also suggested that the heartburn may be a reaction to the antibiotic I'm taking. So, I'm now armed with Prilosec and Tums in case it comes back.
Sheesh! I feel like an old lady talking about my health all the time. Got to get some new material...

So glad to hear that your kids were good while you were away. People underestimate how stressful it is for teachers to take time off like this. Not only do you have to plan every single minute of your time away, but cleaning up the mess of an absence can be just as exhausting as if you had never taken the time in the first place.
You can talk about your health all you like. Hope the heartburn stays away.
Hope you're totally in the pink and fast! No little old lady for you...not for a long time :0)
I hope you start to feel better soon. I admit that I don't really know too much about the prodedure that you had, but are you sure that it is a UTI you have? I would just be concerned that it was another type of infection. I have had UTIs and they are very uncomfortable and the antibiotics do typically kick your butt. Praying for you to be feeling better soon!!!!

You are far from an old lady! Take care of yourself and don't do tooooo much.
Glad you were able to have a half day. You'll be better before you know it!
So sorry you're feeling awful! UTI's are the worst, I've only suffered 2 in my life and wow, not at all comfortable. Heartburn I deal with often, Prilo.sec is a saver! Feel better soon!
Ok, Joannah, are we secret sisters or something? First, we see the same movies and then I go and get a UTI as well...and I am getting bad heartburn also (is it the Cipro?). Hope you're doing better and that brighter days are ahead :)

Heartburn and a UTI?
It's as though your body is giving you a preview of what it plans through to do when you are pregnant!
Feel better, Joannah.
Oh antibiotics sometimes do that to me too, hope you're feeling better.
Don't worry I'm sure you'll be blogging about happy things soon!
Rest up!
Hi Joannah! It's been forever since I've been in touch - just wanted to drop in and say hi. Hope things are going well - and that you feel better soon! :)

Goodness, hope you are feeling better!!!! Just got caught up on your blog! I had that movie in my hand the other day and then thought,,,hmmmm,Helen Hunt? I don't think so. She is always the same kidney stone passing character in each film! And would you believe that I then went and picked up Ms. Pettigrew? Loved it!
You know what they say about great minds...
I am so behind on my blog rounds...I hope by now you are feeling much better. Gosh...you have been through a lot in the past few weeks....but I am so excited about your surgery!!! My prayers continue to surround you...and well....your uterus! :-)
