sunshine0221's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- New Job, Another UTI, and Of Course Some TMI New Job, Another UTI, and Of Course Some TMI As you may have noticed, I have been pretty un-updatey lately. And I have a good excuse. I started a new job. The plan was to give notice at old job, take a week off in between because I haven't had a real vacation in like forever, and start new job all fresh and rested. What actually happened was no week off in between, and I worked both jobs during my last week at old job. So, busy as heck, but happy to have new challenging job. And because an entry without at least a little TMI, just isn't an entry to apparently - here you go. I got another urinary tract infection. It hit all of a sudden this morning. In five minutes I went from okay, to OH MY GOD I AM DYING. I went to the doctor, and when I walked into reception the receptionist casually asked me to have a seat. I replied, in an Exorcist style voice "Cup, bathroom NOW!!" I was immediately escorted to bathroom, told to pee in cup and leave it in there and come back out and have a seat. All went according to plan until after two minutes of waiting in waiting room I had an urgent need to pee again RIGHT NOW. I ran for the door and was blocked by a large elderly lady walking really slowly. I was stuck behind her, and then to my horror saw her slowly going into THE BATHROOM!! Gah!!! Just as the nurse was asking me if my "sample" was still in there, I heard the older lady say, "Oops". Yup, not only did she steal my bathroom (slowly) she also spilled my pee sample. I again invoked my desperate voice and asked nurse if there was another bathroom. There was, I produced a new sample, which as far as I know was not spilled by any slow moving older ladies. Then back and forth from waiting room to bathroom about another ten times before I was taken into a room. The nurse stuck a thermometer in my mouth and disappeared. For 15 minutes. So another 10 trips back and forth to bathroom this time with stupid thermometer in mouth, because I was apparently not quite uncomfortable enough. Finally doctor came in, cheerfully told me the nurse must have forgotten me (how could she FORGET me - I walked past her 10 times on way to bathroom with a thermometer hanging out of my mouth) and that I could have taken the thermometer out after 30 seconds. Then upon confirming that yes, I had both a fever and a scorching UTI, because apparently I was not feeling quite miserable enough, the doctor then said, "Jeez you've been in a lot this year. I sure hope you have insurance." Err, no I don't, but thanks for asking. But thanks to the miracle of antibiotics, I am feeling better, have doctor's orders to not wear panty hose (yay!), and am able to go sometimes even an hour between pee breaks. You know how when you have company, you kind of hope that your furkids will be all cute and stuff, and impress the guests with their brilliance and wellbehavedness? And, Spike - biting June in the ass when she turned her back on you?? NOT so adorable! Mom's friends are NOT cat toys!! Please remember that. 6:46 a.m. - May 21, 2006 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
