Nurse, heal thyself

Dehydration is the pits. I want to take the time to remind anyone who follows this blog that ignoring the need for water has VERY serious consequences which are just not enjoyable.

I've heard the term "nurse's bladder" - it's when nurses (or others in fast paced jobs with few opportunities for breaks) don't relieve themselves enough and end up stretching the muscles that allow you to hold urine in. That's bad enough. But it's also bad to avoid drinking water just because you're busy.

So my public service message of the day: don't be like me. Drink enough water and avoid the pitfalls of getting sick from dehydration!
