OK, so earlier last week I KNEW I had a bladder (UTI) infection. Maybe as a result of the chandelier sex.
Anyhow, so you know you have it, you KNOW you need antibiotics, but your Dr. still needs the pee to verify that so you can get the drugs to make you feel better.
This is where working in a hospital lab comes in handy. So I called my Dr.(who is not with the hospital I work for) to fax a script for a Urine test. That was Tues. I got it Wed am. I registered with the hospital to have lab work done. Then I was so crazy busy, every time I could eek out 10mL of pee I was no where near the lab. I know you girls know that when you have one of these infections you feel like you have to pee ALL THE TIME, BUT you can pee 3 drops, when you try.
Anyhow, so I waited to the end of my shift to try, and NOTHING, NADA...3 drops.....not enough to do the test. UG! I took a pee cup home with me. I had the next day off. I figured I would just drive it in to be tested. I felt so crappy the next day, the last thing I wanted to so was drive my pee to work 40mins away. I drank cranberry juice, and figured I would tough it out until the next day when I had to work.
The next am SUCCESS! I actually went 20mL in the morning. I put my pee in the fridge...NOT the one in the house, the one in the garage. Somehow, I thought that was less gross.
I got in the car to go to work a few hours later...I forgot the pee. Crap!!!!! I turned around to get the pee, because now it has gotten to the point where it is hard to even stand. Grabbed the pee, and tossed it on the passenger seat and peeled out down the road. About a mile down the road I look at the passenger seat which is now wet. It took a second to compute...SHIT IT'S THE PEE!!!.
Two thoughts went through my head at the same time. 1. I NEED TO SAVE THE PEE. 2. I'm really glad I have car seat covers. I swerve to the side of the road, grab the pee container, inspect it...whew...still 10mL enough for the test. I secure the top. I then address the car seat cover...well I threw it away.
Got to work. The labs were run. Surprise UTI infection. Dr. faxed my prescription. I am feeling better.
