HandyDan Posted October 14, 2019 Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 Hope you enjoy the day and have plenty of good food to consume! Link to comment
HARO50 Posted October 14, 2019 Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 Thanks, Dan. Unfortunately, I came down with a U.T.I. on Friday night, and have spent the last three days between the bedroom and the bathroom. Daughter dropped off some leftovers though, so I'll enjoy those later! John Link to comment
Artie Posted October 14, 2019 Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 I was just happy to read that the Canadian Snowbird pilot who had to eject at an airshow last weekend is safe, and no one was harmed. Link to comment

Artie Posted October 14, 2019 Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 John, not sure how familiar you may be with the US Thanksgiving celebration. I’m curious on how similiar/different the observation of the holiday is between our two countries/cultures? Because if it”s as much of an eating holiday up your way, as it is down here, you really lost out this year. Hope you are on the mend. Link to comment
Cal Posted October 15, 2019 Report Share Posted October 15, 2019 Hope you got the plumbing fixed by now John. UTIs can be tough. Link to comment

Hope you are on the mend. Thank you all for your kind wishes. And yes, Artie, it is much the same up here in the Frozen North. But for some reason, it has been getting less so in our immediate family. The LOML and I don't eat much any more,two of our family have decided to go vegan, and my three sisters no longer join us, so one small turkey with trimmings pretty well does it! As for "losing out", the twenty pounds I've shed over the last few months are NOT missed!! John Link to comment
Artie Posted October 15, 2019 Report Share Posted October 15, 2019 It’s one of my favorite meals. If a roast turkey dinner is on the menu, I’m probably gonna order it. I do eat a lot less of the pies these days. Link to comment
Gene Howe Posted October 15, 2019 Report Share Posted October 15, 2019 Not a fan of hot turkey. But man, do I scarf up on those trimmings. Then later, turkey sandwiches with Mayo on white bread. If I feel adventurous and, have a bib handy, some cranberry sauce in the sandwich. Link to comment
HARO50 Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 Kinda lost my desire for turkey when the son was raising the birds for a number of years. He'd bring over these HUGE birds every now and then because nobody wanted 40 lb. birds. Something that size lasts a LONG time! John Link to comment
FlGatorwood Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 Anything with citrus juices help with UTI, helping them go away and keeping them away. Had 2 of those problems this year. So, I drink a half bottle of Propel daily as it has no sugar. It has electrolytes to help restore what you have lost from the UTI. BTDT. Link to comment
HARO50 Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 Thanks, Steve. I don't know if Propel is available up here, but I'll check it out. At least, we may have something similar. John Link to comment
Gene Howe Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 I find that cranberry juice helps, too. That and, lots of water. Link to comment

I hit a couple cups of cranberry juice a day. Works for me. Has to be the real juice and not the cocktail version they try to pawn off on us. Link to comment
Gene Howe Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 Ocean Spray is a good one. Link to comment

I had one case of UTI about two years ago. Went to the local hospital. The doctor who examined me told me NOT to drink cranberry juice, said it was an old wives tale, and has been proven to do more harm than good. Just FYI. Might be able to get more info on the web.

John Did a bit of research on the web. Seems the consensus is that it most likely won't help with UTI. Neither in prevention or treatment. However, the kidneys do benefit, somewhat. So, now I can make more room in the fridge. Wife says it goes well with vodka and OJ. My last bout with UTI was cleared up in a couple days with antibiotics. But, the doc couldn't suggest a preventative regime. Link to comment
