Galileo didn’t forget the lab after all and I’m glad they didn’t because I definitely have a UTI. I asked them if they could include that in the lab order and they told me about at-home UTI testing strips as well. I didn’t even know there was such a thing. Tom also found that there are OTC pills you can take but I’m guessing Galileo is going to want to prescribe antibiotics. I still have to get tested at the lab so that they know what kind of infection I have. I just can’t believe I got it from shit since we have bidets. I’m thinking it could have come from excess moisture that produces yeast. These bidets with their wider streams definitely leave me wetter so I got thin liners to help absorb moisture.

I had to sleep today, but Tom went out and got the testing kit along with the Halcion for Wednesday’s appointment. I peed on a strip with two little squares that test for different things. The one that remained clear was for your white blood cell count. The other one turned red right away, which indicates a UTI. I would have been genuinely worried if it showed that I didn’t have one because that could mean I had much bigger problems.

I enjoyed having better energy yesterday for the first time in days, but now I’m back to being tired despite sleeping a decent amount of time and getting a good sleep score. I did wake up a few times due to weird dreams, as usual... Me running from a couple that was pissed at me in a hotel and being unable to find my room. Then there was a rat in another dream. Rats have been showing up in my dreams a lot lately.

Anyway, I have an appointment at the lab at 5:40 Monday morning.
