what the doctor said

what the doctor said

Today I was finally able to get an appointment with the doctor! She said I have mastitis really bad. It’s weird – usually mastitis gives you bad fevers, but I haven’t really gotten them. I haven’t had a fever every day, and when I do I’m sure it doesn’t go above 99. However, I took my temperature the other day and it was 96.1 so maybe 99 is a high fever for me… I got a prescription for an antibiotic….

Well, my 6 year blogging anniversary came and went on Saturday without me acknowledging it. It’s been 2 1/2 weeks now and I’m still in a bit of pain. I can’t stand to be touched.

Savannah has decided to stop nursing on that side, which is bad because I need her to nurse and clear the clogs. My attempts at clearing them myself with massaging, warm…

not feeling the greatest

The past few days I haven’t been feeling well. Tuesday was the worst – I had a fever and of course that day Paul unexpectedly had to work late and got home at 8pm. I laid in bed with Savannah, but didn’t feel like I really got a chance to rest because of course she wasn’t tired. :-) My fever broke Tuesday night, and I have felt a bit better each day. A few weeks ago, before we went to…
