It was time for me to pee out the awful medicine that was in my bladder, but no matter how hard I tried, my body just wouldn’t let me. “Alright, babe, that’s enough. It’s just not going to happen this time.” I start crying harder than I already was from pain of the medicine and my full bladder, but mostly from fear of what Travis was going to do to me. “Please, Travis, let me try a little longer. Please!” “Sweetheart, you’ve been trying for the past ten minutes. It’s time to let me take over.” We were already down in his home office, which is where he administered all the home treatments, so he walked over to one of his cabinets and took something off the shelf. All I saw was a small box with wires coming off it. “What’s that? What are you going to do to me?” “Shhh, it’s ok, Nicole. I’m going to explain it to you, but it’s going to sound a lot worse than it is.” He holds up the wires, and some look like they have the little pads on the ends, like the ones when they do an EKG, the others look like they have little metal pieces on the ends that look like clamps of some sort. It doesn’t look good to me at all. “I’m going to place a few of these on different parts of your body. I’m then going to turn on this machine and an electric current will pulse through you. When this happens it will cause your bladder to spasm and relax. After a few minutes it should cause you bladder to finally release. Do you have any questions?” “Is it going to hurt?” “It’s not exactly going to hurt, but it’s not going to feel that great either. It’s going to be a very weird sensation, at least as far as the current is concerned. As you know from your other treatments when you expel the solution it is going to burn. Do you have any more questions or are you ready to start the procedure?” “One more question and then you can start. Where are you going to put the wires?” “I’m going to place one on your lower belly, right above your bladder. I’m going to place one on your clit, and one on the upper inside vaginal wall. If you’re ready to begin babe, put your feet into the stirrups for me.” I do as I’m told and scoot to the end of the table. I’m already naked from the waist down from the first part of the treatment. I take a few deep breaths and try to relax. My bladder hurts so bad from the solution and from where it’s so full. I’m ready for whatever Travis has to do just so I can some relief. He feels of my lower tummy and pushes on my bladder. “Oww, Travis, I’m really full.” “I know, babe, I’m sorry. I have to figure out exactly where the top of your bladder is.” He then places one of the pads where he just pushed. He then moves between my legs. I feel him spread the top of my lips open, and I feel air on my little clit. “Ok, Nicole, this one is going to be a bit uncomfortable. You’re going to feel a little pinch and a lot of pressure.” He must have used one of the clamps on me. I couldn’t help but jump and moan when it closed down on me. “You’re doing good babe. I’m going to insert a speculum so I can attach the next electrode.” I hear the clank of metal and then feel the cold of the speculum as he pushes it into me. The coldness just makes me tense up. “Try to relax babe.” Once he finally gets it in, he opens it up pretty wide. “Alright, sweetheart, from where the inside of the vagina is wet I can’t just use one of the sticky pads, because it won’t stick. So, I’m going to have to use this one.” He holds up a wire that looks like the sticky pad, but on closer inspection I notice it has a small piece of metal that kind of looks like a small needle. “You’re going to feel a little stick, like if I was giving you a shot. It’ll only last a second though.” I nod my head for him to continue. A second later I feel something inside of me stroking my upper wall, I jump expecting to feel pain from the electrode. “Easy, darling, it’s just my finger. I need to figure out the best placement.” He keeps rubbing his finger along the wall, until he hits a spot that makes it feel like I need to pee. I jump and make a noise. “Bingo. I’m placing the electrode now, deep breath.” A second later I feel a slight pinch inside me and I jump. “Alright, I’m going to turn on the machine now. I’ll start it on low at first.” As soon as he turned the knob I felt the weirdest sensation I had ever felt. It didn’t hurt but it felt like my muscles were slightly squeezing. “Are you ok?” “Yeah, that’s not bad.” “Ok, well it’s going to get a little worse. I’m going to gradually turn it up until your bladder releases. It’s going to be a little uncomfortable.” He slowly started turning up the knob, it wasn’t bad at first but eventually it felt like my lower muscles, including my bladder, was tensing and clenching with everything they had. “Ugh, Travis?” “It’s alright, babe, it shouldn’t take much more.” The next pulse made me scream his name with the force of my muscles clenching. As soon as I did I could feel myself start to urinate. I screamed again as the pain of the solution hit me. I was too preoccupied with the burning sensation, I didn’t even realize Travis had immediately turned off the machine. I felt him stroke my forehead as I cried and screamed while my bladder was emptying…. “Hello! Nicole? Are you still with us?” I was brought back to the present by the sound of Dr. Graham’s voice. “Yeah, sorry, when Travis was telling you about the incident I couldn’t help but relive it in my mind.” “It’s ok, I understand. Now that you’re back with us are you ready to finish you exam?” “I sure am. I’m ready to get this over with.” “Ok, let me get a quick temperature.” I feel him put the thermometer in my ear. “No temperature either, that’s great! Lay back for me so I can feel your bladder.” He pushes all along my stomach asking in different places if it hurts. “Nope, it feels fine.” “What about in here?” He then pushes down on my bladder and I grunt. “It doesn’t really hurt, but it’s very uncomfortable. I don’t feel any pain per say, though.” “Ok, that’s good.” He then takes out the leg rests and I know what’s next. I couldn’t help it, I groaned as soon as I seen them. “I know, this part isn’t any fun, but it’s necessary. I’ll be as quick and gentle as I possibly can.” “Travis, will you hold my hand?” “Of course sweetheart.” Travis takes my hand as I place my legs in the leg rests. As soon as I hear the dreaded gloves I tense up. “Try to relax, Nicole, this isn’t going to be nearly as bad as last time. I’m just going to a quick examination of your urethra, take a swab, and then I’m going to feel your bladder from the inside. It’s all things you’ve had done before, so it shouldn’t be too bad.” I feel him spread me really far apart and I squeeze Travis’s hand. “Your urethra looks so much better. It’s not even a little red, just a nice healthy pink color.” His description of my private area made me blush. “Alright, Nicole, I know you hate this part.” “Are you doing the swab test now?” “Yes, just try to relax.” It wasn’t long until I felt the, now familiar, burning stinging pain of the swab going up into me. No matter how many times I have things inserted in there, I don’t think I’ll ever get used to the painful sensation it causes. I couldn’t help but whimper “Ow” when he took the sample. I squeezed Travis’s hand again, and he kissed me on my head to comfort me. “I just need to do a quick internal exam.” I then feel some pressure as he inserts a finger inside of my vagina. He pushes up on my wall kind of hard, and I feel a lot of pressure, especially when he starts pushing on my bladder from the outside. I hear him say “Hmmm.” And then he pushes even harder from both inside and outside. I grunt at all the pressure I feel. Travis starts to look concerned. “Is everything ok, Derek?” “I think so, I just can’t feel her bladder as easily as I’d like. Nicole, I need to make sure your bladder is completely healed, unfortunately I’m not able to feel it from your vagina. So, what I’d like to do is see if I can feel it better through your rectum.” “Ugh, the only person who’s ever touched me back there has been Travis.” “I’ll be very gentle, I promise.” I look up at Travis and he nods his head at me. “Ok, if you have to.” He quickly changes gloves and then puts some lube on his finger. I feel him spread my butt cheeks. “Just try to relax.” I feel his cold finger start to push back there. “Take a deep breath for me.” As soon as I do I feel the burning pressure back there as he inserts his finger all the way into me. I have a death grip on Travis’s hand. I groan when he pushes up hard into me trying to feel my bladder better. “Ow, that’s uncomfortable. I don’t like it, are you almost finished?” “Just a few more seconds… there, all done.” I feel him take his finger out and I shudder. “That was a lot better.” “So, how is she?” “Well, it seems like all the infection is completely gone. Now, Nicole, to avoid having to go through all this again, I want you to tell Travis IMMEDIATELY if you start having any symptoms of a bladder infection, such as: pelvic or back pain, frequent urination, burning urination, etc. Ok?” “Ok, I will. I promise. I learned my lesson.” “Alright, good. I’ll let you get dressed.” Before he left he shakes mine and Travis’s hand. “Call me or something, man, if you ever want to hang out or something.” “I will, that sounds like a plan. Thanks again for everything.” “You’re both very welcome.” With that he walks out the door and I get dressed. On our way home I can’t help but think what our next adventure will be.
