It is good to hear from you.  I am sorry for all the thinks that seem to be getting you down.  Surgery is so traumatic to your body that it sometimes takes long to get back on your feet.  Continue good wishes.

E.coli is normally found in stool. Cross-contamination from there.

UTI's are so miserable, between Thanksgiving and Christmas I was on three different antibiotics--Macrobid, Cipro,and Amoxicillin. Made for some pretty miserable holidays.


My gosh, UTIs are miserable. I had a vicious attack about a year ago. Finally two rounds of Ciprofloxacin worked. I won't take Cipro again, though. It messed with my head big-time.

There is some good news on the front for those who suffer from recurring UTI's.  There was a medical article this week that there are experiments in the process of a antibiotic shot that would be administered directly into the bladdar attacking the bacteria at the source making it much more effective. The process itself doesn't sound pleasant but I know some women that are taking a low dose antibiotic every day to keep the infections at bay but they still reoccur.
