Women are different when it comes to menstruation. Take my sister and I for example. While I have slow to medium flow, hers is always heavy. Others have dysmenorrhea while some don’t. I’ve watched one talk show episode where the actress Sunshine Dizon admitted that she experiences heavy flows.  And boy it was really heavy that she has to wear adult diapers at night time to prevent staining her bed.

The complaints I have during monthly period are just the occasional cramps and low energy levels. So just imagine my happiness because I haven’t had it since 07/01/05. Yes, it that long ago and I hope breastfeeding would delay it’s come back for a few more months.

I’m sick again. I felt the UTI symptoms last night and it was too painful that I had to stay in the comfort room the whole time. It felt like I have to pee every minute and my lower abdomen hurts like crazy. We were alarmed when a large amount of blood went with the urine. I’ve experienced that before but not as many so as to assume that it could be my period coming back.

M0rn1ng prodded me to go to ER but I have second thoughts of leaving B.boy at his sleeping time. He might not be able to go to sleep without me so I just dealt with the pain. Around 3pm, the pain and blood is no longer tolerable. I wasn’t able to sleep and my condition seems to worsen so off we went to ER. The laboratory results confirmed that I have UTI and the doctor advised me to take antibiotics twice a day for 7 days. And because I haven’t slept the entire night I have no energy to go to work so I decided to call in sick at work.

I feel better now. For a while there I thought my period may have come back but it was a false alarm. The blood stopped already and I suspect it was all from the UTI.

Is there a preventive way? I have UTI all the time despite of the fact that I drink lots of water. The only cause I can see is my infrequent visits to the bathroom when I’m busy at work. I know it’s not an excuse but when I get focused on one task I seem to forget that I need to heed the call of nature. Hahaha! Funny but it is true. So if you’ve got tips feel free to share it here. Happy weekend everyone!

My dream mountain vacation would be complete by staying in log cabins such as you see in the picture. It just completes the whole mountain feel, the cool air, the pine trees and the perfect looking fireplace. I haven’t stayed in one yet and I hope to be able to someday, maybe in Baguio or Tagaytay.

The log cabin in the picture is offered as Pigeon Forge vacation rentals which promises the comfort and privacy you would ever want for a mountain getaway.

So how about you? Do you like log cabins as much as I do?
