Hi @bonitav; I'm sorry to hear about the UTI. I'm sure that you would have liked to get started with the Stelara and found out if it helped or not. All is going well with me. I'm working at keeping my energy level as constant as possible by not taking on too many tasks and keeping my schedule "reasonable." Sometimes that is hard to do, I think that I may be addicted to "busyness"! On Valentine's Day my daughter and I saw a real neat movie, A Dog's Purpose. A real cute movie, told all from a dog's perspective. If you would like a change of pace, I highly recommend it. How long do you have to wait after the UTI treatment before you can begin the Stelara? Keep in touch. Teresa

Oh, I understand the 'busyness' issue Teresa, but have gotten caught up in political issues that keep my mind busy. Has detracted me from my reading though. Anyway, I do want to see A Dog's Purpose; I've seen the previews. I'm sure it was a real hoot! Am preparing for a move to a larger place not so far from here. Mostly just a mental process now... assessing the number of boxes I'll need, etc. So, not sure how long after the antibiotic I'll have to wait before I began Stelara. Will give the GI a call soon, or after I learn the outcome of the urine culture.. At any rate, glad you're doing well. Wish me luck with the move, etc. Bonnie.

@bonitav I wish you well on your move, how exciting! Take care and allow others to help you with the work and packing. Remember you don't need to do it all. Teresa

@hopeful33250 I know I need help with packing, etc., but so often I've done things on my own. Have to admit I'm not as young as I once was. 🙂 Appreciate your concern. Bonnie.

@bonitav, I agree with Teresa. It is okay to ask for help. I know that is hard to do sometimes, especially when we have developed our own independence. None of us are as young as we used to be, but we can age gracefully! And hurting ourselves by overdoing it is not a good idea at any age.
My husband and I have always been do-it-yourselfers. This time we hired the painting out to professionals, and it was amazing! They prepped, they painted, they even cleaned up. And moved the furniture, too. I'm a believer:-)
