Sleeping Beauty

After class last night, Jay and I went to the gym. He taught me some lifting exercises and we hit the steam room. I was already super tired to begin with, but the steam room put me over the edge.

We headed home were I noticed I had a frequency need to urinate.
AH! I think I have a bladder infection. I’m going to the doc today to get meds. In the meantime, Jay was kind enough to make a trip to the local store for some over-the-counter stuff to help me. And had to make a second trip because he got the right brand, but was the wrong stuff -- cranberry concentrate supplement. So right before he left, I passed out on him.
(Btw, I am on the phone with him right now reliving the moment) He was gazing at me admiring my peaceful look as I drifted to dreamland. He said he thought “ah, so pretty…!”

AND THEN…

I started to snore! AND it woke me up! We laugh for a little while and now today, I am cracking up at that moment over and over again!

Cranberry tablets sound right to me...but they're not gonna cure you if you already have a UTI. They will prevent UTIs so if you're getting them frequently you may want to pop a cran pill with a glass of water before your escapades, or to just incorporate cran tabs into your diet.

Jordan - Yes, I kept the AZO Cranberry concentrate and Jay was kind enough to make another trip to the store and get the UTI AZO one. I'm feeling better today! Went to the doc, had a billion test done or so it seemed. One made me bleed afterwards :(

Cindy - I'll be taking the cranberry with my regualr pills going forward cuz a bladder infection sucks!!! And now that I am on the pill, they make you more susceptible to them.

I did NOT know that!! That explains a lot...

I've had a lot of UTIs and never had a test conducted that drew blood. It's usually just a urine sample.

They didn't draw blood, they stuck these little tools in my noni and took wet mond(sp?), ph, etc. But one of the tools made me bleed
*sniff*

I have no idea what tests they did on you, but they've never done anything like that on me. ICK! Even my urologist didn't do that.

well sounds like they did a pap (wet mount, it's just adding water to the specimen to make it more translucent) and probably a vaginal culture to see if it's something else..sometimes stds or other infections mask as utis.

and they didn't tell you this? (I mean that they were doing vaginal swabs??)

I think since it's through my health services at school they go a little over board on the testing because they see so many stuff some in. And they are a little over kill on the do viit and follow up. They must get money back when student come in or something.
