I stay in pretty good health, it's not often that I have to make a trip to the doctors office, but I did today. I have a "UTI" or a bladder infection as us common folk call it. I was up all night last night, literally in the bathroom every 15 minutes not peeing, but feeling like I had to. Not to mention that horrible burning when I actually did manage to pee.
I realise no one wants to know about my bladder problems so I'll move on. So I went to the doctor today to get some med.'s to get rid of this infection. I had the usual long wait in the sitting room, with the usual group of elderly people staring at me. There was one thing that was very different about this doctors visit though. The nurse. I had the absolute sweetest nurse today. I guess I never noticed how less than socialiable my nurses have been in the past.
Now please, don't get me wrong I know nurses have a lot of work to do, I certainly don't expect any of them to spend all day in the room with me. It was the little things that this nurse did, like when she left the room she looked at me and said "I hope you feel better sweetie, have a good holiday." It was such a little thing, but it made her the sweetest nurse I've ever had.

Nurses are special people

A_Nominus_Bob Says:

I couldn't agree more with you Trish...I been knowin' lots of nurses, mostly ER nurses, what with my habit of walkin'... fallin'...gettin' stitch'd back up and doin' some more walkin' and fallin'. No matter what my a'medical emergency might be them nurses are right there for Ol' Bob...now a'bout the havin' to go to the B'room all the time- I think I got what you got, es'cept mine is a burnin' and itchin' whether I gotta go pee or not. I'm drinkin' gallons of cranberry juice, hope it clears up...I got me a hot date with one of the dancers down at the local dancin' girl emporium later on this week.
Adios,

sounds like you might need

Trishzen Says:

sounds like you might need some antibiotics bob. I just went to the Doctor yesterday to get some and they gave me some pills to help with the burnin' too. I feel better already. You can't be all burnin' and itchin' on your date with that dancin' girl!
