Every night out I've attempted since having LO has resulted in a bladder infection. I'm sitting here on hold with the doctor clutching my tea. Sigh. I guess I'm going to have to take up bridge and Murder she Wrote.

Talk about feeling old, my birthday is next Monday. :-( No bladder infections though, so I must not be an old lady yet. What the heck do you do when you go out that gives you a bladder infection? I must not be doing things right when I go out...
Why would this be a result of going out? Is it because you try not to break the seal? To me, bladder infections and UTIs aren't a sign of being old, they're more related to being university-age. But that might be because my roommates and I all kept getting them the one year - not peeing after sex was definitely the culprit.
But I'm a constant pee-er! Even sober! This thing gets regularly flushed. I really don't understand it.
In that case, that really stinks! Can the doctor clue you in to why it keeps happening? I actually live in complete fear of getting another UTI. When I got one in university, the only symptom I had was shaking and almost fainting. It happened at synagogue while my mother was being honoured and then again while I was student teaching. It was ridiculously scary the second time because I'd been driving just a few minutes before it started. The only reason we figured out it was a UTI was that health services on campus made me give a urine sample so they could make sure I wasn't pregnant. On the bright side, I found out that the trick to getting seen quickly at health services was to tell them I was about to pass out.

Yuck, LCass! Yeah, I feel pretty cruddy. This is twice now that a night of only moderately fun drinking has turned into antibiotics, which apparently also have their own ways of trying to kill me. I can't believe I now have to weigh going out against multiple bodily orifice dysfunction. Someone shoot me.
