my friends are awesome!!
i had a positive moment today!
my birthday's in a week, but because it's thanksgiving, everyone will be gone. so this morning, when i wake up, there's this post-it note on my computer : "Jenny, come down to the kitchen!"
so, half awake and puzzled, i walk downstairs, and walk into the kitchen. there are all of my friends, making me a birthday breakfast! pancakes, hashbrowns, and scrambled eggs! (all ic friendly!!)
i was so happy and felt so loved, it improved my mood and made me actually happy to go volunteer today. maybe today i'm a little bit above the pain because of this!

This week's favorite one-liner:
"Incontinence Hotline...Can you hold, please?"
New second favorite:
A school teacher was arrested at the airport for trying to go through security with a slide rule & a calculator. He was charged with carrying weapons of math instruction."
Adding a third because I'm just so darn easily amused...
"Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups"
Above funny things are from the "Prairie Home Companion--Pretty Good Joke Book", which I pull out & read when I've had a bad day & really need a laugh...
Current treatments:
-IC diet
-Elavil 20mg at night
-Ditropan 5mg at night
-Continuous use birth control pills (4-5 periods/year)

-Pyridium if needed, usually once a week or so
-1 Darvocet at bedtime,
-Flexeril 10mg at bedtime
-Dye Free Benadryl for allergies occasionally
