LOL, Renee. I love your description of getting out of bed this morning. I was a little like that this morning too. I had to lay there a bit and test the water before fully getting up.
*singing* "Von has water, Von has water. Yeah, Yeah, Yeah." LOL. So glad you have water now. You are very resourceful. I never would think to keep extra water around just in case.
Barb - Have a great trip and enjoy the weather.
Sandy - You have a great trip as well. When is your mom's biopsy?
Kay - Love the cartoons! I don't have a term for hot flashes. I haven't experienced that as of yet so I can't think of one. However, from what other women have described to me I think "the curse" would be more appropriate for hot flashes. Hoping that if I have to have them it's not for several years. I'm too young for that, I think.

Don't know what I am going to do today other than straighten up, run some errands, and make sure DD17 is drinking lots of water, cranberry juice, etc. but not too much.
We spent several hours in the ER yesterday as she had a lot of blood in her urine (when I saw it I had to question her if her period was starting. That's how much was there!

). She also was in a lot of pain and collapsed on the bathroom floor. So her doctor said to bring her to the ER and canceled her appt with him. Poor girl has a bladder infection. (DUH!).
I hope you all have a good day.
