Cwillie, for me its not the riding while they drive; it's the turning them loose with the wheels! In April the foster son will be 16 and doing the driving - that's when it gets on my nerves if they're 10 minutes late.

School has started and I have TIME again; no chauffeur duties between 8:00 and 5:00 - most days. High school football practice is after school and elementary boys get off the bus at the high school to be water boys; then I pick up the high school boys and take the elementary to their practice @6:00 (with a bagged light supper). Elementary boys are very motivated to finish their work at school so they don't have to ride the bus on home and do homework before their practices.

I’m in a bad mood. So many problems to solve. All due to having spent a lot of time solving my mom’s problems.

TN,

I’m a terrible driving instructor. My husband is a terrific driving instructor. He’s Mr. Chill. I was a bundle of nerves when I drove in the car with my girls.

They did so much better with my husband and with their driver education teacher. I made them nervous.

My mom never taught us to drive. My dad was a bundle of nerves trying to teach us.

I came home crying and daddy would come home cursing! Mom signed me up for driver’s education classes.

I did much better with in driver’s ed classes.

So I spent yesterday evening in the ER. I have a kidney infection. What fun!

I nearly called 911 yesterday but instead hubs drove me and we spent from 7pm. to 1am. waiting. But they were thorough. I got a CT scan, bloodwork, urinalysis all in the scope of 6 hrs. as opposed to waiting till Monday, possibly getting a lot worse and driving all over town to get the tests done. I'm now on heay antibiotics for ten days.

That's what's on my mind today. :P

Thx MD.

Where I Iive we can get prescriptions from our pharmacist for uncomplicated things like bladder infections, etc. About 3 weeks ago I got an antibiotic thinking I had a bladder infection. I took the full course of medicine and thought I was better. But I've been feeling off for a while even after taking that medicine. Thursday night I was up peeing all night and all day yesterday. Then I suddenly started to feel really bad, bad back pain, dizziness, nausea, faint, feverish, getting the chills. So I didn't hesitate after that. Straight to the ER.

I am 61 by the way. Old, but not really old. :)

Venting, still not feeling great but today is only day 3 of the antibiotics so I'm hoping and praying. The medicine is doing a number on my stomach. I've lost 3 pounds in the last two days. One way to lose weight I guess.

I've never found anyone who really gets me Venting. Some people come close but I mostly feel like I'm alone on an island. Always have.

Gershun, I surely do hope you are better. Problem with getting antibiotics for bladder infection is that without the culture you might be on the wrong drug for a particular bacteria. That pain over the kidneys in back scares me that this traveled to the kidney from bladder, esp with the fever. Dangerous, that. I hope they did a culture and you are definitely going to be on the right medication this time. Good luck, and feel better.

Venting, it's always easier to get good understanding and sympathy on Social Media, I think, than from family and close friends. There is so much more involved with close relationships and there's so much history and carried baggage. Just my own opinion.

Thank you Alva.

They took three vials of blood when I was in ER. One when I first got there and then two more after seeing the doctor. They used both arms to withdraw the blood. I could see that the tubes had some kind of culture in them so I think they were thorough when they tested it. I sure hope I'm on the right medicine.
