The relationships may end, but the courage it takes to be authentic lives on.
Jesus God, you people are especially full of wisdom tonight. I love you all so much, I can't even say.
And I've only had one bourbon and ginger, although I'm about to go get #2.
I'm watching White Collar. Damn I wish I was El, so I could be the jam in that sandwich.
Not to belabor the point of my physical travails, but I'm wondering why one should not take hot baths with a uti.
Since I'm on the antibiotic, would it matter?
The thing is, my body is so tired from holding it like you do when you don't feel well and my muscles are screaming.
On the other hand, I don't want to do ANYthing to jeopardize my recovery (which is, at the moment better than this morning by a good measure)
Would a bath really be a problem?
I think it's the fact the water you're marinating in isn't clean, and can get into places you'd just rinse over in the shower. A hot shower should help. Not as well as a soaky bath, but still good.
Would it be OK to take a bath and then rinse off in the shower before getting out?
Sigh. You are right. I know you are right.

Hot shower it is, then the heating pad and that novel I started last night.
That's the ticket.
FWIW, I've never had a doctor warn me against taking baths with a UTI.
[eta: bath salts and bubble baths should definitely be avoided, but only because they can cause additional pain/burning, they won't make the acutal infection any worse]
I remember, back there in the Dark Ages, that you weren't supposed to take a bath when you had your period.
Condo drama today has been low. Got a call from the property manager, which was good. Most drama occurred from coming clean with Tom on the whole thing. I've been bringing him up to speed slowly this week, but now also I had to go into why I didn't tell him in the first place. Which... AWKward!
I did enjoy not having to deal with tenants or neighbors.
FWIW, I've never had a doctor warn me against taking baths with a UTI.
I never took a bubble bath until I was in college, because my mom firmly believed that they give you UTIs. She might still believe that, come to think of it.
For certain values of "you", your mother was not entirely incorrect.
