I thought to myself, if I was going to feel bad today, I might as well look good doing it. So I brought out a nice dress, did my hair, put on make-up for the first time in ages. It was slightly comforting to the day ahead.
Ladies and gentlemen, I got UTI. That’s Urinary Tract Infection for those who don’t know. It apparently affects 90% of women, and having it three times a year isn’t all that uncommon. It hurts a lot when I piss and it bleeds, and the urge to pee won’t leave me. Now I have pills to make it better, but it’s taking some time to work cause it still stings like hell. And I’m taking these pills that turn my piss into a bright shade of yellow/orange. Think Kickapoo. That’s right.
I just hope to get over this as quickly as I can so I can be on form for work again. Pretty please?
Oh yes, I also got the first of 3 jabs for my cervical cancer vaccination. Thought I’d get it done since I was at the doctors. Easier that way. As he was piercing my skin with the needle, he had to jab it in extra hard, because I apparently have reptilian skin that is so tough that applying a normal dosage of strength is not enough. It turned my arm numb for a bit. I have an injection-phobia which I developed in Primary one, after watching my dear classmate Amrit (who was one of the first on the list you see) scream and shout while getting her jab. I remember that she wanted to watch the nurse inject her, but our teacher refused to let her and turned her head away, and she was struggling like a mad woman. Traumatized me for life, I say.
The pain in my neck and shoulders are still killing, but I’m strong. I will get through this. I would like to extend my thank yous to dear ol’ Cone, who tahan-ed my supreme grouchiness at being sick and sticking with me the whole way. Xie xie ni.
