Anyone had a UTI that is antibiotic resistant?

My primary says my bladder is way older than my actual age. I asked her if we could 3d print in a new one? She said no unfortunately. Because of all my surgeries I had prolapse which I just had surgery on in December this past year. She gave me two months worth of Macrobid, but last we tested I didn't have an infection after having ecoli the previous week. I have protein in my urine. Always something new to figure out...

There is this lady down the street who told me she has all her original parts which I thought was hilarious considering how many of my original parts I don't have anymore because she was asking me if she should get a hysterectomy (she is 81). I told her not to - I got mine at 40 because I had to.

If you do go to Mayo try to get as much scheduled ahead time as you can - Mayo really has helped me. I have had to make six trips in the last year. I live in Florida and go to MN - the advantage of going to MN is you can see multiple specialties at once if you need to. I have multiple issues though - that is just one of them. Well this will be trip seven next week - as much money as I have spent I could have done a month long tour of Europe. Oh well, I guess I can just call it Tour De Mayo. Health is worth more...

But finding humor is a good thing to remember amid all the chaos so thanks for reminding me to not always think about the medical components of life or you will always be stressed. Humor is really the best medicine, as cliche as that sounds...

I needed a reminder to laugh. I should have gone to Mayo long ago. I decided to not travel. Now it looks grim for any 10 hr trip since I can’t even do 2 hours in a car or plane but if I could you darn tootin I’d be there. It was a 6 mo waiting list last time I checked! All the speakers here are the same booked up to a year ahead. God forbid you Miss an appointment …..
