Hi there! Sheila just sent me a message. I am so sorry, I didn't recieve other messages. It is so nice of you to think of me.
The UTI thing has been a nightmare. Long and short of it is that it wasn't yeast, unfortunately, but not a reccurence either. My hormones seem to be in the non-existent phase now, and there is an imbalance that encourages infections. I am using an estrogen creme (with a little concern) to remedy the situation. We didn't have much of a choice. Things have slowly improved, and I have made some dietary changes also.
Getting old stinks!!!!!! Especially when your 40. I sometimes feel like I am 100. But I am here, so I am thankful. 
Love, Kelly
