Some good news for once

Had my 3 month appointment today with Gina at Urology and for once there was no infection...but that could be because while visiting my "un-biological" sister and her family I had one. Thank goodness I had the sense to take my whole bottle of amoxacilin with me so I could get rid of it. Even though I used an OTC Test strip, I may not have really suffered an infection, but I have learned the difference between a flair and an infection.
I was getting to the point where I thought every time my boyfriend and I would have sex-I'd end up with another infection...it got to be draining on my physically & mentally...I'm not saying that my string of infections is over, but there is light at the end of the tunnel now that puts me at ease for the time being.
I just want to know why when one thing finally works (the bladder installations) another problem pops up...I just want to know why I've been getting infections and how I can prevent them.
So the plan is urine cultures once a month for the next 3 months, a follow up visit with Gina in 3 months, continue taking the amoxacilin at bedtime and using my Estrace Cream once a week.
I start a new job on Monday and hopefully don't have any harsh setbacks until I am out of training (which is for 3 months) and I get myself established with my new employer-my thoughts are to keep myself feeling well and be more positive...
Let's just hope it works!

Time-does it really heal?

I know, it's been a while since my last post...I've completed a temp job that was for 2 months and now am getting ready to go spend a week with my best friend and family before I start my new job.
I had another infection and Gina put me on Amoxacillin now-one a day at bedtime...I don't understand why I keep getting infections! It seems that every time I start to feel great and can do anything, something has to bring me down.
