Figlia has been super smart in her answers lately. I always considered her bright, but I also now feel that she expresses herself very well, and has a definite sense of humour. Fortunately or unfortunately, she has my kind of sense of humour, and we have a riot in the house just mimicking the fart of an elephant sometimes.
M is naughty, and reflects a lot of behaviour that is just like Figlia (but he is a very different person overall). He became angry at me when I unwrapped the candy for him without him asking me to unwrap it. So Figlia! But he is a complete jumping jack, jumping over stuff continuously or jumping from stuff all the time.
I however have some worries of my own. My right knee (that had the avulsion injury) that appeared to be completely healed with the medication and braces I wore for a month, is acting up again. I have dull persistent pain that I feel every time I flex the knee. Plus the toes of my left foot are also aching. I noticed a slight swelling on my left foot, and I think that it could also be causing the pain. Since my mother has arthritis I am worried that I might develop it too.
~TMI ahead~
Can someone have UTI psychologically? I think there is another name for it - psychosomatic? Every mid-cycle I am convinced I have it, then I use a prescription ointment I have, and I feel better. But it's screwing my mind completely. Given that I tend to associate UTIs with poor hygiene or using of public loos, and that I haven't had it in a few years, this thing is not making sense to me.
I think UTIs are more complex than most people would think - I've had some pretty persistent ones. I think some people are also predisposed to having UTIs. And you can get them from just holding your urine for too long. But I sometimes feel like they come and go, so it's possible you do have mild ones that resolve on their own.
ReplyDeleteGeez - we just trumpeted like elephants at my house. And for a long time, in order to try and avoid the prolonged hilarity of fart humor (because I do not find it that funny), my daughter thought fart was a forbidden word. So, when she told my sister that her son had used the F word, my sister was appalled...until I told her that the F word was fart and not what she was thinking. THAT's my kind of fart humor!
The constant jumping makes me crazy - my daughter was always active, but she has (at just about 10) reverted to acting like a 3 year old - jumping on everything, climbing on everything, tantrums...so fun.
Ah UTI!! I have that too! I do believe that there is some psychological contribution to it. I actually just went to the doctor today, he mentioned that there are non-bacterial cystitis (my pee stick was negative for infection today) and to try and treat it conservatively. Mannose is apparently a god sent in these cases. I will try and let you know.
