I completely understand how you are feeling Deetoo. At the beginning of the lock down, I also developed a UTI. I was scared to death of going into the doctor or Urgent care. There are some things I take which are natural remedies which I can sometimes have success with. Fortunately, they helped this time. My daughter had a different issue and was able to have a telemedicine appointment without going into a doctor's office and got a prescription. Perhaps that can happen for you? Or perhaps your doctor can prescribe something else? Don't let it go too long because you do not want a kidney infection. That could be serious.
I am sending you healing light. May you be guided to take the best path for a healthy body. Don't forget, you are not alone. Your spirit guides are with you. We are too. You will be ok .
As a long time lover of buttons (an ancient currency of the heart in my mind!) I loved your art especially now as I have been closed off and "buttoned up" (hahaha) in full on physical isolation since March 2nd.
Buttons go way back deeper than most people realize and have existed for almost 3000 years b.c. and even found in iron age excavations. Blows my mind but certainly explains the strange fascination and often great beauty that have carried in the past as treasured ornamental artifacts as well as currency for barter.
I have one simple metal button from my paternal grandfathers U.S. Customs jacket, my paternal uncles and fathers jackets from WWII and ones from my mothers beautiful vintage clothing she and my grandmother designed and sewed. Just a few, but miracles they even survived our intense house fire in the 70s at all!
Button art has long been popular though I've never done anything remotely as amazing as yours! Just a few here and there for me. You are wise to get them from others, those are the only ones I can bare to part with as they are someone else's history not mine.
You are creating your own kind of archeological excavation and art history in the making my friend!
@stargazer, @pikake, @jeanne-mayell, @triciact, @lovendures, @bluebelle, @herondreams, and everyone,
Thank you all for your prayers and healing light. My fever was worse first thing this morning which upset me, but it’s been better since I’ve been up. I did a UTI self test and it still showed a positive result, so I went to my doctor this morning. He does believe that my fever was caused by the UTI. In the past I've never had a fever with it, which is why I became so alarmed. And interestingly when my doctor took my temperature, it was normal. He's doing a culture and depending on what it shows, I might need a stronger or different antibiotic than what I am currently taking.
While we were there, my husband and I had our doctor do the Coronavirus antibody blood test. We were curious about it because both of us were pretty sick back in late December. My doctor remarked that so far, no one he's tested has been positive with the antibodies. I don't know which test he uses or how accurate it is. We shall see.
Thanks again, everyone. Love to all of you.
I'm glad you did the antibody test. In retrospect, the lengthy illness you and your husband had made me wonder... Glad your fever is gone and hope you continue to feel better today. Much love to you.
Hey everybody, my 94-year-old grandmother was just taken to the hospital. If you would be so kind as to send some prayers her way, I would appreciate it. She lives in Philly which is still a bit of a hotspot so I'm more worried than usual. Thank you ❤️
