Who knew how difficult it would be to hold your bladder? I mean of course we've all been there done that..... too much water (or other liquid substance) and then no bathroom. You cross your legs, and try to imagine yourself somewhere else.
Well that was me this past week, only it was a forced event. I had to drink 32 ounces of water in 30 minutes, then hold it until I went in for a doctor appointment 1 hour later. At first I thought it was easy, until I got out of the car and started walking. Oh yeah.... all that moving around.... I needed to go! But I couldn't! I checked in for my appointment and sat down in the waiting room. Now mind you I was only crazy lady in there - it was 7:30 a.m. on a Saturday! The technician came to get me and took me into the ultrasound room. He asked me to lay down and tuck a towel in my jeans. He proceeded to take out a probe and push down HARD on my belly. Oh My!!! Is he really doing this? Surely he knows I have a full bladder!?!? He continued to move this probe all around my belly, pushing down. I must've had a look on my face becasue he said "I'm sorry, this part is almost over and then you can go to the bathroom."
Whew! After about 10 minutes of this I was able to empty my bladder. But then came another probe - and another 20 minutes of looking around, which was all fine and dandy until about minute 16.... at which point I needed to do to the bathroom again! Oh My! He better hurry this up or I'm going to pee on this table.
But I'm happy to report I was able to make it through. Now I wait for the results......
