Feeling like ass

This last UTI has set me into motion and I have become proactive in trying to prevent yet another. I went home early again today because the antibiotics (Macroid) they have me on makes me feel so awful. Almost every possible side effect has hit me. Loss of appetite, nausea, diarrhea, headache, etc. I have been searching the internet trying to see what preventive measures I can take to stop this ugly cycle. Apparently, a low pH level in my urine will help inhibit bacterial growth. So, I have been looking into foods that lower the pH. I was shocked to find out that citrus fruits are actually supposed to be avoided because they make urine alkaline. I dunno, it could be hippy logic...there is plenty of that on the internet as well. Everyone says drink cranberry juice but how many of you have ever drank the real stuff? Not the cocktail...the 100% juice. It's like undergoing some sort of dormitory hazing ritual. Blueberries are supposed to have similar properties and so I picked up some blueberry juice as well. I plan on mixing them and diluting with sparkling water. That's the only way I can fathom imbibing cranberry juice every day. I also picked up some cranberry capsules at Whole Foods and hopefully that will substitute for the days in which I am unable to drink the juice.

On a happier note my bicycle is finally tuned up and ready to ride. I actually miss the days when my sole method of transportation was my bike. Any weather condition there was I would ride in. Tomorrow is my last day of antibiotics and so I probably will feel like ass tomorrow too but on Sunday for sure I am taking my baby out for a ride. I also reserved an hour long massage at the gym on Sunday as well so things are looking up for this weekend.
