Better not let them see me walking around with wet hair...

I may be divulging a little TMI, but I do so in the spirit of cultural exchange and understanding :)

So, I got a bladder infection. Everything is fine- I went to the doctor and got antibiotics that I'll start tonight. That isn't particularly blog worthy. What is, is the response that my liason teacher and her husband had to me getting sick.

They are both convinced that me walking around the house in socks, but no shoes or slippers, is responsible for my infection. So much so, that Klaus lectured me today on the drive back from the doctors about how, "I want to be treated like an adult, but I insist on acting like a child, running around barefoot and without shoes." And that I needed to tell Arran to make sure he's always wearing slippers or he'll be the next one they'll have to drive to the doctors. And he said something about me wanting him to act like a father to me. I accidentally started to laugh, because I thought maybe he was being a wee-bit sarcastic... but he wasn't. There was a little part of me that wanted to ask if he had a studies to back up his claims, but I didn't think that that was an appropriate time to do so.

As soon as I got home they found me a pair of slippers to put on (keep in mind they're open toed and heels) and they told me that I needed to rest and make sure that I keep my stomach warm. Because they think that keeping my bladder warm will help it to heal.

I want to emphasize that I really appreciate that they are worried about me. They have been super awesome great, and are very much concerned about both Arran and my well being. I just think that in this case, their worry is a bit misguided.

Nonetheless, below is a picture of my socked and slippered feet :)
