This morning I woke up late for class, which was fine because I wouldn't have made it anyways with the uti flare up I had.
I was to the point where I could have lived on the potty. I left to run to store to buy some cranberry juice (or stock up, I bought 3 bottles). The 20 min ride to town was pure misery from the urgency.
Then I talked to SIL and she talked me into just going to urgent care bc it is right across the street from Meijer. Temp was normal for me (96.6), and every other vital sign cleared as well. By the time they asked why I was there and if I could give a sample, I felt like I needed to go SO badly. Well they gave me the wipe and the cup, my urgency at high alert level, and all I could squeak out was 10ml. Thankfully that's enough for checking for UTI.
I left with a Keflex and Pyridium prescription. And it took 30 min to get it filled. That was more torture. Thankfully, I feel a bit better. But the massive amts of juice have given me heartburn. Pick your battles I suppose. I'd rather have heartburn over wanting to glue my butt to a toilet.
So now the debate...to go to work or not? *sigh*
On another note, I did get my eyes checked yesterday....the first time in 3 years. My prescription stayed the same!! =) I got contacts back, but now cannot use them bc the pyridium that changes your pee orange (and gives massive relief) can turn your contacts that color as well. And God giggles I think. LOL
Tomorrow a furnace guy is coming to do checkup on fuel oil furnace and possibly give quote on how much hooking pellet stove up will cost us. I honestly am contemplating not hooking it up again and just purchasing 2 eden pure (or like them) heaters. Girls at work say they are amazing...depends how much he says I suppose...
Ahh that sounds awful! Glad you got some medication for it. It's good not to let stuff like that go during pregnancy, I think. I hope you are feeling better soon!!
ReplyDeleteI hope this passes quickly. It sounds absolutely annoying and very uncomfortable. Feel better soon.
