Good night ... she's gone. It's after midnight here. I should go, too. Good night, Granny and all in Grannyland, regulars, visitors and lurkers, all! Sleep well!

Oops, before I go, I want to post something and I don't know where to put it but this is my stomping ground so I will put it here. Maybe someone can use it someday, I don't know, it's kind of totally random.

So Sammy, the younger of my two Shelties, has the bad habit of snatching food if you offer it from your hand, and you're liable to lose a finger. I don't like this, of course, so I wanted to find a way to teach him to take food gently from my hand. I've found two ways. The first way is for small, dry treats. I hide them in my closed hand and he has to kind of dig them out with his snout as I slowly open my hand. This has helped a lot. The second method is for bigger treats. I make the dogs chicken meatballs* and freeze them. They are about an inch in diameter, so I want to be able to offer them between thumb and forefinger - without, as I say, losing a digit! So I've been offering them in a pair of metal tongs. Sammy has learned that it's not comfortable to chomp down on this, and also that he doesn't get the treat if he does. He's learning to grasp it delicately and then I will let it go. I say, "easy, easy," as he takes it. I'm going to continue this for the rest of this week, then try it with my fingers. Progress report to follow!

*old chicken used for broth, shredded, mixed with brown rice, nutritional yeast and coconut oil.

No not bread, sourdough starter. They can be very old. The first one I had about 40 years ago came from Texas and the original I guess you would call it, parent, starter was over 100 years old at the time.

We used to deal with yeast infections under breasts all the time where I worked back in IL. Mostly in women who were well endowed and not wearing bras. Key is to keep underside of breasts dry and comfy. I wear front fastening sports bras and use some talc. No problems.

I believe what you are dealing with, Granny can be treated with a topical antifungal.

This came up when I did a search for Candida parapsilosis under breasts

Treatment for a yeast infection under your breasts may include an antifungal medication. Your healthcare provider may recommend an antifungal cream, ointment or other solution. You can buy many antifungal creams over-the-counter.
...
Topical antifungal medications include:

1. Miconazole.
2. Nystatin.
3. Clotrimazole.

Yeast Infection Under Breasts: Symptoms, Causes & Treatment​

Make sure you wash your hands good so you don't spread it and until your doctor prescribes a treatment, keep your chaloobies-tatas-bazooms-washed gently, patted dry and you can fold some soft wash cloths and put them under your breasts if you don't wear a bra. I would recommend that you get some comfy sports bras to wear that you can fasten or pull on yourself to keep things from contacting skin under your breasts. You have a warm moist growing field there for yeast infections.

As for the labs, yes, medications can cause abnormal labs. So can simple things like age and being overweight. Our kidney function begins to decline when we are around 30 believe it or not.

Nystatin powder, good hygiene, keep it clean and dry down there. If moisture is a problem, a cotton pillowcase is your solution. Old nurses trick. Powder it up with nystatin and stick a pillowcase under there. Wash cloths can leave funny looking bumps and grooves from the terrycloth.

Ive tried all those meds. MC wash cloth too. It in all the places not just breasts

Have you taken Diflucan? Fungal infections can be stubborn, and they will be worse if you are diabetic or have a compromised immune system.

52

52 is a little on the low side. Do you usually run low?

Good morning, @Blingchix6, welcome to Granny's. So you're a nurse too? Is it a bad idea for her to wash several times a day? All that wetness worries me ... but I'm nobody and know nothing. I just hate it that she's suffering so.

You are not nobody! You're a special lady!
