thanks mousiegirl. But I used  to be a nurse,and am not too concerned as it is microscopic blood. My son had the same thing and it just stoped on its own. I see my Dr in March,so I'll have a urine test then. Right now I'm more concerned w/ my liver and pancreas, but tbhanks for thinking of me.I did have a ultrasound an d a CTurogram done. Nothing showed up unusual

@Epicurean   A few years ago, I had back pain and one evening chest pain, so was at the doctor's the next day for tests.  It turned out my pancreas and sugar were off the chart, so off to the hospital for three days.  Apparently, the pancreas was causing the sugar issue, and no reason was found in a myriad of tests, sugar was brought down to normal with injections, and no issues since.

During this, a slightly fatty liver was found, so when I went home, no more fatty foods for me, and this resolved the issue, no more fatty liver.  I hope your issue will be corrected so easily, and I hope the urine issue is nothing.

Here is my tip of the day.  

I decided to hard boil boil a couple eggs for breakfast this morning.   So, I set the eggs in warm water and set them on stove to boil.   Worked the cryptogram etc. took the eggs off the stove and ran cold water in the pan til water was cool enough for me to pick up. I like my hard boiled eggs warm in the morning.   

I then took one egg, banged on the end of it till it was cracked, then banged the other end til it was cracked.  Looks like windows that are shattered.  I then rolled the body of the shell til it was all shattered too.  I then picked it up and using my thumb started to rub off the shell.  It came off in one piece attached to the membrane.  The egg was smooth and lovely .   Took the second egg, did the same. Had two perfect eggs. 

im not a whiz In The kitchen so when I succeed I brag. It took all of 30 seconds for each egg.  It was so much fun I wished I had boiled the whole carton.  This method works with cold eggs too.

@Epicurean  I misunderstood what the doctors saw on the X-ray that gave them the idea a CT scan was needed.  No matter, I'm relieved for you.  I would throw a fit of all fits if I got hit with a service charge for something I didn't do. 

You know I was a money order person for the first 20 years of work life until my soon to be husband (at the time) shamed me into opening a checking account.  I had that for a few years and then opened a debit card.  A few years after that I discovered web bill pay with my bank and wow - that was the way to go for me.  When it comes to paying anything medical I send a check, lol.

Betty @yock I get so frustrated when shelling a boiled egg goes sideways on me so I celebrate with you that your boiled eggs shelled easily.  I made devilled eggs for Thanksgiving and it was a nightmare - the eggs were too fresh.  I bought eggs right after Thanksgiving that I saved for Christmas (still within expiration date) and those shelled perfectly.

Birdmama,hubby is going to bank on Monday to complain about the service charge when they were responsible for the screw-up.

as far as hard boiled eggs go,this is what I do. Put eggs in pan,cover W/cold water. Bring to boil,cover and remove from heat. Let sit for 15 mins.,then run under cold water. Also,a teaspoon or so of baking soda helps . Put it in the water with the eggs. Helps them peel easier.

@Bird mama   Last year, I presented a check for my co-payment, and no one at the desk knew how to deal with a check, took her fifteen minutes or so to figure it out.

[Bird mama]

@mousiegirl  that reminds me of the one time I paid for a Little Caesar hot and ready $5 pizza with a $5 bill and half dollar (to cover tax).  The girl who took the payment stared at that 50 cent piece for the longest.  I told her, it's realy money, you know a 50 cent piece.

Jesus!
