I have a thermometer in the medicine chest. Signed, Mother has a nursing degree..
I spent the afternoon at Tilden park with a couple of 19 month old twins. One of 'em is a daredevil, and wanted the carosel to go faster, the other wanted off. File under: Can't please everyone.
Sorry for disappearing. Had a bad stretch there for a bit. Thank you to everyone for the sound advice and kind words.
What about an emergency ward? I just realized I have no memory of where you live, but really, I think a kidney infection qualifies.
I'm in Denver, Cindy. But I found out that even though the full bladder helps with bathroom pain, it just makes the kidney scream louder. Two seconds of BIG pain each half hour or so compared to CONSTANT BIG pain was a no brainer. For now, I'm drinking a bit less H2O. Kidney still annoyingly painful but not PLEASE MAKE IT STOP painful.
any chance its just your bladder and the hurty back is something else?
I'm pretty certain the pain is coming from my right kidney. But I know I've definitely mis-pre-diagnosed myself on other occasions. "I have a blood clot my leg! I just KNOW it! Oh, wait... that's the leg I ran into a table with last night." (History of blood clots in my family.)
It appears that the piece of glass has moved its way out of my boob…just in case you were all wondering.
Yay for non-glass boobs, vw!
Good collapse ~ma for Nora and lung ~ma for beth.
Hugs and glitter to all!
I'ma try to sleep now. Thanks again - you're all amazing. I'm extremely glad I didn't have to go through this "alone". Night!
Night Nicole! (Go to a doctor and) feel better tomorrow!
I'd be grumping, too, if I were Emmett. But I hope the game goes well anyway.
It did! We won in a walk, securing second place for the season. Emmett didn't hit much today, but he did take home on a delayed steal (not on a passed ball - the pitcher turned his back on third base. So very ballsy), and then he pitched the last inning and retired the batters thus: strikeout, pop up to Emmett, strikeout. He said it wasn't his best game of the season, but he had the most fun. He looked commanding on the mound.
Nicole, I hope you can squeeze a little rest out of the night.
Look! It's Lillian! If you look close, you'll see a Fay!

The Lillybean is more adorable than Pete.
OMG am ded from Lillybean and Fay cutage. Ded.
Also, am dead in the non-cute way from this weekend:
If I EVER, I mean EVER, consider going on a cruise out of my own free will? Please to be bopping me over the head and locking me in a closet until the madness passes. Alternatively, get me massively drunk on shitty liquor so that I have a hangover and the spins/shakes for 3 days running - because that is exactly what my cruise ship experience felt like without the fun of drinking. The fucking earth still hasn't stopped swaying, and I disembarked over 12 hours and 800 miles ago.
(No, Dramamine, et al., did not help. No patch helped. No wrist bands helped. They mitigated it somewhat, but I was still throwing up and clinging to the bed like a drowning woman far more often than I would have liked - which is, oh, NEVER.)
I needed 2 shots of Fernet when I finally got home just to normalize. I also slept for 3 hours. Still shaky and sway-y, but better. I think a shower and a walk is now in order. Am very glad I took PTO for tomorrow. Very glad.
