Feeling good, feeling fine

I am feeling pretty good after this last treatment. Not normal but good. The 'ball' is giving me trouble this very early am.

I don't know what could have caused the flair up.

Maybe it was the 2 chili cheese dogs from Wienersnitzel.

No, couldn't be.

A bladder infection! I got a blasted UTI. No prob, more drugs, fun. But first we want to run a culture to see what kind of infection it is. That was on Tuesday and we should know by tom, Friday. That is when they'll put me on antibiotics or whatever. In the meantime I am uncomfortable down below. Drinking lots and lots and lots of water helps, as does those pills that makes your pee phlorese. Panty liners protect your panties from stains that will never come out. However I was out of liners and had to use pads.

Here's the fun part. I went to Costco and was out of pads. I like thin, maxi pads, no wings. I only need them for a few days and this is what I like and have used for years. Well they didn't have thin, maxi pads, no wings, they had thin overnights with wings. I have never used pads with wings and I'm a little concerned that these things may take flight without notice. The price was right, I got them anyway, how bad can they be?

Bad! First off they are huge, like diaper huge. They are thin, yes, but long, they fill up my entire panty. Then there is the 'wings' part. These are 5" strips (yes I'm sure they are that wide) that you need to wrap under the panty. These strips are so big that I have trouble keeping them from bunching up. I have to unstick them and straighten them so I don't have this crinkly wad in my drawers. 45 minutes later I am out of the bathroom. No! This isn't going to work. I want to take care of my personal business without any noticible time difference. Is that too much to ask? I think not.

I cut off the wings.

I still hate them but it helps.
