I'm back! The trip went smoothly from an organizational point of view. However, there was another issue that’s now forcing me to adjust my plans. I’ve been dealing with a rather unpleasant and painful infection for the past few days. To be honest and not shy about it, I seem to have developed a urinary tract infection due to a weakened immune system. It was really bothering me during the whole trip — burning and pain that wouldn’t let up. But once I returned, got some rest, drank lots of chamomile tea and water through the night, and then slept a bit more in the morning, the pain eased. Still, it might just feel better because I’ve been drinking an abnormal amount of water to flush things out and avoid discomfort. Every evening after drinking lots of fluids, I’d feel better — but in the morning after not drinking overnight, things would get worse again. So I’m worried that even if I don’t feel much pain right now, the infection could still be present and potentially spread to my kidneys — which would be much more serious. So I’ve mustered up the courage and signed up for a doctor’s appointment today. I hope they’ll get back to me, so I can get some tests done and start proper treatment to prevent anything from getting worse. Going to the doctor is always hard and scary for me. Don’t be like me — take care of yourselves early. Oh — and right before I was about to leave the house yesterday, my bedroom floor flooded again… heavy rain came through the wall under the window, just like last year. Even though someone supposedly fixed it back then. So I ended up mopping up a mini flood in a rush, right before leaving. #skinny #teen #tiny #petite #small #egirl #altgirl #goth #gamergirl #cosplay #geek
