On how many forums could you discuss this? I Eden.
Damn. We always try to be careful, but still get carried away, and carried away we got Friday night and I think I managed to get a small tear in my urethra (the pee hole.) In most women, the urethra is close to the clitoris and not far from the vagina. So, when you get...er....vigorous, it can be effected.
I felt kind of sore the next morning, hoped I wasn't getting a UTI and started to feel better, but got myself on an antibiotic and cranberries right away. Then Sat evening, I started to pee blood. The pain wasn't terrible, in fact, it felt better afterward. I have a history (it's gross) of urethral polyps along with UTIs. Could be I had one of those and the damn thing ripped or tore or who knows what happened. The blood stopped after about 6 hours and the pain isn't too bad. (With routine UTIs, the blood lasts a lot longer.)
The probable 5 days to a week without sex I can probably manage normally (not happily, not well, but I would manage) but today it our wedding anniversary! This morning, he just got into bed after his shower and held me for, like, 45 minutes before he had to go to work. Didn't ask for a BJ, just held me and patted me. I wanted to cry.
You can't "rest" your urinary tract. It just keeps going, and you just have to hope it heals and no infection happens. I got hold of some Cipro (strong antibiotic shit) in addition to the cephalexin, and I'm going to do 24 hours of Cipro and then go back to the Keflex to kill any microorganisms that might be growing. I hope it works, because I HATE going all the way to the doctor especially just to pee in a cup when I already KNOW what the problem is. (HCPs are the worst when it comes to actually seeing doctors when we need to. I "managed to appropriate" some antibiotics.... I haven't called or seen my doctor yet. It's a nurse thing. "Aw, heck, I know what this is, I'll just do it myself. No reason to bother the doctor.")
I HATE this so much. I HATE my urinary tract. It sucks, the weak thing. I hate any part of me that is weak.
Anyway, I feel like shit and I want to be with My Man tonight. With. My fear of re-opening the probable tear is really keeping me fearful of doing anything (and I usually am NOT fearful of pretty much anything sexual, and usually jump the gun on the "no sex until..." time given for regular UTIs) but the prospects of surgery is not on my list of "things I want this year.....or ever again."
It's a big anniversary and we have no bucks to go out, so we were going to get take out (maybe sushi) at least have a massive great time in bed, to celebrate and now that's out. I can't even have my one glass of champagne because if the antibx.
Anyway, thanks for letting me rant. All I want to do is sleep, and I went shopping for his present and they forgot to put his card in the bag, so now I have to wait for the little one to get home from school and go back out in a virtual blizzard.........
It will all be better in a week or two, but I just needed to vent, y'all. (bitch, whine, moan, complain, shut the fuck up, P'Gell)
