LostGal you asked about gum disease and a crappy imune system. I forgot to reply to the imune system suggestion.
Yes, her imune system is compromised. About 7 years ago she had a breast lump (pea size) removed, some lymph glands removed under her right arm, radiation treatment, and took an antiestrogens drug, tamoxifen for 5 years. Nongenomic actions of antiestrogens
Today, when she gets a paper cut on her surgery side, it gets infected and she has to take antibiotics.
The UTI's (UTI's used to happen once every 1 or 2 years. Last couple of months, there is was 50% chance of getting a UTI for each nookie encounter even doing some of the things suggested on some UTI sites) are costing us about $80 after the insurance pays their part and I/she thinks all of the antibiotics are bount to have some negative effect someday.
I don't want to see her in that situation but I have a difficult time with the R being a-sexual with her. Being a-sexual would work for her right now.
When I talk to BB and ask questions or offer potential solutions, she said I was pressuring her. I am thinking about visiting with a Dr. about this. Urologist, oncologist, or some other seciality.
CSW. I guess I will have to do some work at getting better at listing things on eBay. I was going to donate a pressure cooker but decided to see what they sold for on ebay. I discovered they sold for about twice what I had imagined. Now I just have to break through my mental hang ups (uneasiness, apprehension) about the unknown. Listing also takes time I don't have. I guess I just have to quit doing something else and get the job done.
More stuff to the donation store but buying a new book case???????
