you might need to pee like crazy.

today, i had to get an ultrasound.

which sounds weird enough as it is, but the doctor wanted to check and see

if i have a parasite or a bacteria living in my stomach. but, they ask you not

to eat anything before the ultrasound. they insist you have a full bladder though,

so i woke up at seven today and started chugging water. my appointment was at

eight:thirty. for simplicity's sake - i really had to pee. when my ultrasonographer

(i think that's what she called herself) started pushing  that goop and the camera

thingy on my pelvis, i was about to wet the bed. my mom was laughing her head off.

i might have cried, but i didn't. for the next 25 minutes of goop-rubbing and weird

black & white ultrasound picture taking, all i could think of was not peeing my pants.

i took bathroom breaks on ten minute intervals after that.

and this post, because i thought you might want to know

how often you'll have to pee if you get an ultrasound.
