My inlaws had given me a bunch of money for my birthday - almost enough to rent a full week at one of those extended stay places. So OM and I together rented the week. It was a big move, because you have to rent it over a week in advance, pay a deposit, put it on a credit card, and if you cancel within 48 hours of your stay, they'll charge your card. We were a bit anxious to do it, because, as you all know, what can go wrong frequently does when trying to get away for a rendevous in your affair!!! But, since we've not had IC yet, we were both desperate to make that happen and do it in such a way that we wouldn't have to rush through it, but rather, be able to take some time exploring each other. So...the week at the suite made sense.

At the 7-days-until-checkin time, I got diagnosed with a bladder infection (from overly aggressive making out she said, lol). OM says maybe we should cancel and I said not on your life...I'll take massive drugs and be fine by then. He refuses. I ask...if my midwife clears it for me to have sex, will he and he agreed. She does, hallalujah and pass the ketchup!! At the 4 day mark, I come down with a yeast infection. Again, I say, look, I'll use the one day cream and after the weekend I'll get a prescription for the oral medicine, and I'll be fine by Wednesday. He's much more skeptical, of course, but since I am so stubborn on this, he warily agrees. But then, my family's finances go down the proverbial toilet and I need all that money to pay my mortgage. I was so stinking mad!!! Luckily, I was able to cancel in time that they didn't use my card. And, just for good measure, so the fates would be sure to let us know we weren't going to screw but were getting screwed none-the-less, OM got a horrible abscess on his tooth, he's all swollen, badly infected and in great pain. He's getting 5 teeth removed on Monday. So, even if we'd gotten the room, we wouldn't have been able to use it and the money would have been wasted.

WHAT A WEEK!!!!

On the upside, I think I found a place for us to use that's not too expensive and that will let us have it daytime hours, so after he's had a chance to heal from this, I'll rent that with a bonus I've got coming to me.

Thanks for letting me vent!!

Hi lucky

Sorry to hear your plans went completely awry. I've been there with a bladder infection -that can be painful. Whooow! You two get yourselves in order, and hopefully you'll have another chance to meet up soon. The wait will be worth it I'm sure!

Overly agressive making out...lol - hilarious!

Just an FYI - it's SOOOO important that your man has clean hands when he touches you - it will lead to an infection quicker than you can imagine...I carry antibacterial babywipes in my car just for that reason...either he washes his hands and if we forget i just clean up well afterwards...ya may wanna consider that...just a tid bit of guidance for you...

Also, cipro or leviquin work more thoroughly on a 3 day treatment than diflucan one day treatment ever thought of doing...obviously Ive become a pro at this infection crap!

Lucky,

Thank you for one of the best posts I've read in ages! I realize that it was not at all funny at the time, but you have to admit, it's almost like a hapless Doris Day/Rock Hudson kind of movie, what happened to you and OM! I feel terrible for you that it didn't work out, but it's just so... well, funny... that it went sooooo wrong! And I am glad to read that you are not put off-course by this serious of events, and you and OM are simply "rescheduling." That is awesome.

I hope your next attempt works out better and hope to read a happy, steamy post then!

take care,

lily

Thanks, all! It is kinda funny now. And, lucky for me (there's my name again!!!), his drugs kicked in fairly quickly, so we're able to do almost as much as we normally do when we get together, anyway. Except he hasn't got use of his mouth because of the pain. (I KNOW!! BUMMER!!) But he makes up for it in other ways. ;-)

Oh...and get this....I wasn't paying much attention to the calendar. He was told that the swelling from Monday's extractions would be gone and most of the pain would be gone by week's end. Guess what's scheduled to appear at the end of this week (and lasts for 8 days, mind you!!). Y'know, at some point, you just kind of throw up your hands and say, okay, fates...we get the point!!!! lol!!!!

I am so sorry that your plans did work for you. Look on the bright side, your OM and you will be able to laugh about all that you went through to be together someday! MM and I danced around for over 2 years b/f we gave in to our feelings. We love to talk and laugh about how we each were going crazy for those 2 long years not really knowing what the other was thinking.

Good luck to you.

Hugs
