So umm, last night we drank several margaritas with salt. How many? Well, let’s say more than 4 and less than 8 and leave it at that. When I got home, I drank 2 enormous bottles of water. I thought I’d be fine. I felt fine this morning. At about 5PM, just as my Doctor was likely locking up her office for the week I was hit hard with a UTI. Great.
I once had to go to the ER in the middle of the night (Thanks Mom & Sheila!) for a UTI. The thought of sitting around in an ER for hours was worse than the freakin’ UTI. The Fiance suggested I check out one of the new pharmacy clinics that are popping up all over.
My review: Awesome.
The nursing assistant was personable. Doctor Bertisch was awesome and very thorough. They confirmed the UTI with a standard medical test. She thinks all the tequila and salt likely gave me the UTI. Oops. I guess my party girl days truly are over.
I was in and out of there in less than 2 hours and that includes half an hour to fill the prescription. I didn’t even mind that it was in Times Square (which I avoid at all costs).
Hurray for the pharmacy clinic!

You know that call that “Honeymooner’s Disease”. We always called it the Tequila Flu. Lots of water for you young lady! Feel better soon.

The first time I had one, my Mom & sister took me to the ER in the middle of the night. I had this older Swedish male doctor who sounded like the Muppets’ Swedish Chef. He kept barking at me “toomuczintercurse” over and over. It took us a while to figure what he was saying but when we did, Mom and I burst into hysteric giggles.

Start chugging the cranberry juice, it’s supposed to help.

can’t imagine being examined by the Swedish Chef, those hands randomly grabbing and fling this and that and stuffing random things here and there. That would be a tough one to sit through.

How dreadful. Tequila and salt are two of my favorite things but I’d never heard this could be another horrible side effect of margaritas.
Feel better.

I’m guessing I’ll be eating lots of yogurt when I’m done with the antibiotics too! Like Mother, like daughter.
