we were supposed to get sd over the MLK holiday because she was off school 2 days then it was the weekend. well dh and bm got into a fight so she didnt answer her phone when he was going to go pick her up and wasnt going to drive the hour and half to see about getting her. Saturday rolls around and bm texts dh and said that sd had to go to the ER because she 'hurt her back' she doesnt specify how it happened and doesnt tell dh anything else. Then monday rolls around, sd goes BACK to the ER this time, she has a kidney infection. (she gets UTI's really easily, as does BM.. Wonder if something like that is genetic...?) She has to take some type of pills to see if she would get better and if not, then back to the ER. She goes back on Tuesday and they want to keep her overnight, they do and they end up keep her overnight Wednesday as well.

Dh has been pissy about this, just in December sd went to the ER as well for a yeast infection and some type of cough. I understand that he is mad about sd keeps mysteriously getting sick in bm's care. Here lately, anytime he tries to talk to bm about sd, she gets on a high horse and says that she knows better than him and they end up fighting. Which does not make me feel better because they have been getting along since August and they are supposed to have a mutually agreed upon court agreement signed by the judge any time now (waiting on dh's stupid lawyer to get a court date!) she can back out of it anytime. AND dh is working 2 jobs right now to pay down his CC debt.

It was orginally supposed to work out where it didnt interfere with his time with sd at all and he would get her on the weekends, but they went ahead and hired someone else for those hours his boss talked about in the 1st interview, so now hes SOL on that aspect and doesnt ever know WHEN he'll get her, because he only works weekends at the 2nd job. Its only 32 hours (for each paycheck) and not really worth it to me atleast. I had asked him if he got his CC debt taken care of, would he quit that 2nd job, he says yes but hes starting to really like it more than his 1st full time job (the one that doesnt interfere with his time at all!) and is hoping they hire him full time! I am tired of caring when he will see sd, but I MISS HER TOO!
tax time is coming up and Im expecting atleast 2k back from my college and work stuff. we are filing together, but he wont be getting back hardly anything because he worked 'on the books' for only 6 months last year. and he already knows he is not getting any of my part. I am not doing anything with it though, just putting it in my savings account for *just in case*. I'll probably put 500 to his CC though. I still am helping him with it everytime he and i both get paid, we both put 100 towards it. and the sad thing is, its only about 2500, but its TAKING FOREVER it seems. He has had that same damn balance for over a year. the finance charges/interest rate are a killer. 45 bucks each month added BACK onto the bill. Ugh i hate his Credit card bill and its not even my debt, but it affects me because my $ goes towards it. sad thing also, is that we dont hardly spend any extra $$ on ANYTHING. we live with my mom and only have to pay her 150 a month, that is included in rent $ and for the bills. We eat at home more often than not, dont buy new clothes or movies. my $ hardly ever goes down in my account because I never spend it on anything. I am glad that way, it just seems his CC never goes away! so its not like there are any extra expenses we could cut out to save even more... i have a good paying job (for my age group atleast) I could have sooo much $ put back in savings... Sorry this is turning into a pity party and is too long! lol

How old is SD? Seems like she needs some better hygeine or something? I have known people that are more prone to UTI's and get yeast infections but if it's once a month or so that seems excessive. If she is old enough to wear thongs (or even those boy short undies that go up your butt kinda!), or if your underwear are nylon/spandex type and not cotton, you can be more prone to infection. Or if she takes baths, she should switch to showers and make sure everything is dry before putting clothes on.

I feel your pain about money...just posted yesterday about it! *sigh*

Some women can get UTIs due to the shape and length of their urethra (pee hole). However, is it possible that your SD is sexually active? Sometimes bacteria can get pushed into the urethra during intercourse causing a UTI. Then, the antibiotics used to treat the infection not only kill the (unhealthy) bacteria that caused the UTI, but also the (healthy) bacteria that keeps our body's natural yeast growth in check, causing a yeast infection. It can be a vicious cycle... If it is possible that sex is causing her UTIs, have a woman-to-woman talk with her & tell her she sould urinate ASAP after sex to clear any possible bacteria that may have entered her urethra. If she seems to be getting a yeast infection after taking antibiotics (for anything, not just a UTI), have her ask for a prescription of Diflucan every time they are prescribed & take the pill 2-3 days after beginning the antibiotics so that she can PREVENT the infection rather than treat it. Don't ask me how I know all this... Wink
