Bathroom.
May 6, 2008
How long do you think a person—a woman—can last without going to the bathroom? A few hours? Maybe half a day? Today I prayed that I would learn how to pee standing up. No, this is not me suffering from penis-envy or anything like that. I’m perfectly content with my pieces and parts. What it is, is me suffering from the most extraordinary muscle pain ever, courtesy of yesterday’s Boot Camp (aka Kick Your Bootie Camp) lunge and squat workout. Suddenly, peeing has become close to impossible, as I can get nowhere near the toilet without grabbing onto something next to me and slowly lowering myself down to the seat. Other challenges include walking up steps, walking down steps, sitting down at my computer to type (right now I am standing), getting into and out of bed, and a multitude of other tasks I normally take for granted. I am about to OD on Advil, and tonight I’m thinking about a BenGay body scrub. The most incredible part of this story is that I am supposed to be back up at 5:30am for another glorious Boot Camp workout. Is anyone else confused? What part of “I cannot move my lower extremities” = “Boy, I can’t wait to get back out there and run a mile”? Put a fork in me…I’m done.
