I should have seen this coming a week ago. Queasiness. Getting very, very hot then very, very cold (also known as chills). Feeling headachy and not-quite-right and, um, a certain sensation when visiting the smallest room of the house.
This morning, it woke me up from a sound sleep and I rushed into the bathroom, screaming all the way.
I have taken Tylenol and cranberry extract tablets and drunk a lot of water. But the simple fact remains that my old nemesis, the UTI, has hit and is treating me badly. Not that badly yet, but I hope I can do something quickly to make it go away before it hurts me too much more.
I am starting to hate going to the doctor. And I know my dr's office won't just phone in a Rx to the drug store, they're going to make me go there. I hate this. Hoity Toity Medical Group is huge, I mean huge and I was just there yesterday for the foot guy to Rx physical therapy for my feet.
Over the last seven months, I have become a medical gold mine and I don't like it.
Just give me the damn Cipro and no one gets hurt, 'kay?
Besides, going to Hoity Toity means driving the 15 miles to work, where I doubt I'll be today. I chose HT because they're so close to work. Maybe there's some special clause that lets me go to Proletariat Medical Group, about three miles from me.
Anyway, this is what happens when I don't drink enough water and then don't pay enough attention to my body.
I told E the other day, "I fell asleep on the couch yesterday - sitting up! OMG, I really am getting old if I fall asleep, sitting up." And I've been so tired lately. Well, I may be getting old, but I was also getting sick.
I wish I had caught this earlier. As it is, I hope I caught this before it gets ugly.

"I don't drink enough water and then don't pay enough attention to my body." And get banged like a bunny, I'm betting.
Ouch! Much ouch!
Damn bodies. I am angry that I was not offered an extended warranty program when I got mine.
Queen - Huh??
Sherri - Oh, they have them. You just don't want to buy them, though. It involves doing icky things like drinking alfalfa grass shakes and half-starving yourself. No thanks. I won't take the extended drive train but I will take the extra horsepower anyday.
Well...that's how I get bladder infections ....
No bunnies were harmed in the making of this UTI. I did it all my own lazyass self.
