I hate needles. Hate. No seriously, HATE. So the fact that I am big fan of this place says a lot.
I don't get sick very often. However, with my job it's really easy to let yourself get run down and your body finally waves the white flag. The week before Christmas I caught a terrible cold that took me down hard for three days. Day four, I called Hydrate and made an appointment.
The facility itself doesn't feel medical-like at all. What I mean by that is it relaxing, comforting, and inviting. I told the nice girl that I had been so sick and was trying to do everything in my power to get better. She recommended the hydrate wellness drip. I got set up in a chair and comfy. Now, I will say it did take three attempts to get my IV in, but that was in no way her fault. This happens to me every time I go to have blood work done and what not. It's just hard to find a vein in my arms. She handled it well and was so sweet. She brought me a coconut water and I laid in the chair doing work on my laptop. There are several different rooms to choose from pending on what you're looking for (TV, quiet, etc).
The verdict: I was sick as hell that morning. I had an event that night I had already cancelled in my head. By early evening, I felt night and day different and actually felt okay enough to go. Granted, I was still sick for a few days after, but I could definitely tell that it helped me battle the plague and shorten the duration of it.
I will definitely be back when I'm feeling run down and need an immune boost. Thank you Hydrate!
