U-T-I Equals T-M-I

I am willing to admit it now...I am NOT a good patient.  I never have been.  I am a wimp and don't deal well with not feeling good and being stuck inside a house all day and night.  I wasn't sure about whether to blog about my being sick this week because honestly, a UTI is just weird to talk about.  I felt very odd telling the doctor details about my visits to the restroom and quite frankly, feeling like I had to pee every dadgum second.  How embarrassing!  Speaking of embarrassing, so is having to pee in a cup and walk with it THROUGH THE WAITING ROOM to return it to the nurse!  Have mercy!

I just need to say this.....these things are AWFUL!  I had heard horror stories but man, I wasn't prepared.  Who knew it would make me feel like I had the flu, go through two rolls of toilet paper in a day (Don't say I didn't warn you), feel like I had a stomach virus, too, AND run fever?  T-E-R-R-I-B-L-E!  Thankfully, I am armed with antibiotics and finally feel like I can re-join the land of the living as of today.  This thing did a number on me, I tell ya.  Hallelujah for healing!

Amy, I had one (with no medicine yet) on a 9 hour flight from Hawaii to Atlanta.......MISERABLE!!!! Now, I don't leave home at least without the OTC medicine that helps with the symptoms. UGH!!! Glad you are on the mend.
