Sorry I wasn't ignoring your question yesterday.

I have had probs with computer and have only just got it working properly.

I am okay thanks, I went splish splosh (!!), got told it was cystitis, got some tablets and am hopefully on the mend.

Thanks for asking.

Chickadee thanks for your reply...it jusy reminded me of this story:

On a ward round as a medical student aged 20, consultant asked us to test urine for sugar by dipping your finger in the urine and tasting it.

He proceeded to put his finger in the urine and popped it in his mouth, waited and then said � obvious taste of sugar� He then asked all of us to put our fingers in the urine, put it in our mouths and comment.

With extreme trepidation and horror we all dipped our fingers in the urine and put them in our mouths with varying responses from gagging to obvious distaste.

The consultant was beside himself pleasure as he said,
�Gentleman, when embarking on your medical career, the use of your eyes is fundamental, you should have noticed that when I dipped my index finger in the urine, it was my middle finger that I put in my mouth.

I used to get cystitis regularly to the point where it ended up damaging one of my kidneys. I took to drinking a small glass of cranberry juice, (mixed with a bit of lemonade as I'm not keen on the taste), and I've never had cystitis since. Apparently, cranberry juice puts a lining on your bladder which the germs can't stick to and get 'flushed away'. Sorry for the technical details and apologies to anyone eating as they read this!

I agree Sir Alec I was told to crink cranberry juice too. I have to water it down as well...does the trick though
