Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

Sounds yummy! Cooking can be such a passion, a desire for eating good food. Cleaning though, that’s the rubbish part about cooking ?

Yeah. Three seperate stir fry dishes that all needed to be hot and ready to serve at the same time equals a lot of pans to wash up afterwards. Always do it straight away though. Hate leaving clearing up and washing up until the next day.

Morning everyone.

Another beautiful day and forecast for next week is more of the same.

So dry that I've already started watering specific plants / shrubs.

Off to my usual yoga session and then Mrs J wants me to go to the rescue to look at 3 new dogs that have come in to see if they would be a good fit for us.

Got mixed feelings about getting another dog so soon but Tintin does need a chum.

Means that I will miss the Cup match which is a bonus.

@Terrarian and @fandjango hope you are OK boys not seen you posting for a while.

You know what they say about getting back in the saddle Jazz. Anyway, it worked out OK in Downton Abbey?

I'm not so sure that it is a massive game for us.
I'd take 3 points in our next rather than a win against Pakace any day of the week.
Let's be honest, even if we manage to get past Palace we have no chance of winning the Cup with the quality of the teams still in it.
In fact a humiliation in a Wembley semi final could be the final nail in the coffin.

Was thinking exactly the same Jazz. The fans deserve a nice trip out to Wembley though, even if it is only a semi final.

Morning Jazz and everyone. I'm ok thanks, got a bit caught up watching paranormal vids yesterday I had GOT open in another tab but couldn't stop watching lol.

Just been up the farm, cows not out still, the sheep were a bit skittish so no decent photos today, she had a paddle but the banks have all fallen in so she struggles to find an entry exit point.

Hope we win today a back to back w2ill do confidence a world of good.

Hopefully you have enough leftovers for today so you can take a break from cooking and cleaning :) But I’m the same way, I rather wash and clean the kitchen right after cooking than leaving it for later.

Morning all. Grandkids asked if they could come for Sunday lunch, I said not this week as I want to watch the match. Today I am feeling selfish. We had better win, ease my guilty conscience a bit?. Have a great day everyone.

Well done Gwladys. You've just blown your selfless kind loving grandma image out of the water. I'm proud of you. Long live Hells Grannies. ;)

What time is kick ff by the way.? Just shows how bothered I am about this one. :blush:

I agree with @Barnfred 55 post, you are such an amazing grandma already and do so much for your grandkids regularly. So at times it is okay to be selfish, don’t feel guilty even if Everton manages not to win.

I agree. No more trips to Riyadh and time take care after that kidney infection so it doesn’t get worse and more painful. Below are 10 at home treatments that can also help you improve your kidney infection.

Complementary treatments you can do at home​

1. Drink lots of water​

Drinking plenty of water can help flush bacteria from the body, helping eliminate the infection faster. It can also help clear out the entire urinary system.

Drinking plenty of water can also help prevent UTIs that can lead to kidney infections, so it’s a good practice to keep. Aim to drink at least eight glasses of fluids daily.

2. Drink cranberry juice​

Cranberry juice has long been used as a remedy for UTIs and bladder infections. There’s some evidence that drinking cranberry juice may help or prevent UTIs in some people.

Many people prefer the sweet flavor of cranberry juice to water, helping them drink more. However, cranberry juices full of added sweeteners aren’t great for you. A cranberry supplement or pure cranberry juice is a better alternative to get the benefits of cranberries.

3. Avoid alcohol and coffee​

The kidneys’ most important role is to filter out harmful substances and toxins, and both alcohol and caffeine can require extra work from the kidneys. This may hinder the process of healing from an infection. Alcohol and antibiotics also shouldn’t be mixed, so avoid alcohol during your treatment for this reason as well.

4. Take probiotics​

Probiotics have two big benefits when it comes to treating kidney infections. The first is that they’ll help keep your body’s healthy bacteria in check, even though the antibiotics may get rid of both “good” and “bad” bacteria.

There’s also evidenceTrusted Source that probiotics can aid in decreasing antibiotic-associated diarrhea in patients.

You can find probiotics at your local grocery store, online, or through a subscription service, like Uqora.

5. Get some vitamin C​

Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps protect tissues in the body from oxidative stress, which can help promote kidney health.

There’s also older animal-based research from 2003Trusted Source and 2011Trusted Source that shows that vitamin C can prevent kidney scarring during acute kidney infection and boost the enzymes within the kidneys.

You can take vitamin C supplements or eat foods dense in this nutrient.

6. Try parsley juice​

Parsley juice is a nutrient-dense diuretic that can increaseTrusted Source the frequency and amount of urination. This can help flush out the bacteria in the kidneys faster, making antibiotics even more effective.

If you don’t like the taste of parsley outright, you can mix it into a smoothie with strong-flavored fruits, including cranberries or blueberries for best results.

7. Consume apples and apple juice​

Apples are also nutrient-dense. Their high acid content may help the kidneys maintain acidity in the urine, possibly inhibiting further growth of bacteria.

They also have anti-inflammatory properties, which may be beneficial in helping the kidneys heal following the infection.

8. Take an Epsom salt bath​

Both Epsom salts and warm water can ease pain. This can help make the uncomfortable side effects of the kidney infection a little more tolerable while you wait for the antibiotics to take effect.

Since abdominal pain is sometimes a symptom of antibiotics, as well as kidney infections, Epsom salts could also help even after symptoms from the kidney infection are resolved.

9. Use nonaspirin pain relievers​

Nonaspirin pain relievers can help relieve discomfort. Ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil)and acetaminophen (Tylenol) can also help break fevers caused by the infection.

However, note that if you have kidney dysfunction, or acute kidney injury, as a result of a kidney infection, it’s important to avoid nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil) and naproxen (Aleve).

10. Apply heat​

While you wait for the antibiotics to kick in, you can use heat therapy to reduce pain. Apply a heating pad or hot water bottle to the affected area, and keep it on for about 20 minutes at a time.
