Struggling with a UTI the past 4 days and finally went to a doc in the box to get confirmation. They offered an antibiotic shot and, since I usually do well with shots, I said why not. Leaving for a 4 day vacay tomorrow and thought this should speed the healing up. Well, I think the UTI is cured because my mind is now on the residuals of the freaking shot and how much my hip hurts. This sucker hurt. The nurse was honest. She said I am going to feel like someone kicked me in the butt. Spot on. I am not sure I would choose to do so again, or I will certainly go in next time with the knowledge of the different kinds of medicines in shots that are available. I will be in the car over 7 hours tomorrow. I probably won't be peeing a lot, but I sure as heck hope I can walk.

Having grown up in the era of penicillin shots, visits to the doctor throughout my youth and adolescence normally involved pulling everything down to my ankles and bending over the receptionist's lap to get one. I was so overwhelmed with embarrassment at the girl watching me get an injection in the bare bottom that I don't recall the shot being particularly painful at the time but I often couldn't sit down later.
