I messaged the ENT yesterday and asked if we could get a prescription for cefdinir, since we were recently on augmentin. she called it in and we started it last night. Woke up this morning and H is still complaining that his ear hurts. Turns out he also has parotitis again. FML. I messaged the ENT (she's probably so tired of me) and will start pain meds and warm compresses.
I really hope he's healthy next week so they can do the surgery.

Hi.
Just got back home from drop off and more errands. I had to bring M’s documents to the school board to complete enrollment and then stop at Lowe’s. I have some laundry to catch up on. Nothing else.

Better. Feeling like I have a bit more energy and less sluggish. Thanks for asking! Good! How is M's head? The swelling has gone down some. He didn’t want to get in the pool at camp today so I told him he could stay out today, but tomorrow he has to do it. I stopped to get some liquid bandage to put on it before camp because regular bandaids won’t stick to his hair well. I hope it doesn’t start to bleed again. He kept bumping it yesterday and the bleeding would start all over again.

It took about a day of it continuing to reopen and bleed to finally stop. Poor boy.

I said goodbye to my sister again today. It sucks. I’m not in a good place. Stupid Corona stressors are giving me a constant feeling of anxiety. My FIL is has been tested yesterday due to a cough he often has and is waiting for the results. My husband was there Sunday. They were outside fiddling with their car and both my h and my FIL are fully vaccinated. But I cannot shake my anxiety.

lahdeedah, do you think it's something that needs stitches? Late last night, I probably would have said yeah. I was kicking myself for not taking him to get checked out earlier in the day. But this morning it looks so much better. When I pick him up, if he says it bled even once today, I’ll probably take him in.

Do you think it’s time to talk to your dr about anxiety meds? There are a couple that are safe to take while breastfeeding.

I was doing a little better and then numbers sky rocketed again (without a joke went up 10x in under a week). I’m not even sure why I’m so anxious. Outside the fact that I suck at losing control, which is off course a big part of our lives now. I was hoping that being away for two weeks with just the kids and my h will help, but I wasn’t counting on this curveball. I’m still hoping that vacation will ease things a little bit, I go to hug my sister & trying to get some more sleep too. Getting anxiety meds is another ball game here, I’d have to see my gp to get a referral to a psychologist, who would then have to refer me to a psychiatrist.

I'm sorry it would be a hassle of several appointments and providers, but it might be be beneficial in the end as a psychologist might be all you need and psychiatrists are usually better at managing the meds than PCMs. Good luck with whatever you decide.

tgrimes btw thanks for looking out for me 😘. First of all, don’t feel stupid. Sometimes anxiety will hit you over the dumbest shit. Secondly, I know it seems like a lot to get meds, but it’s possible it would be so worth it. I know what it is like to live with anxiety and it’s not delightful, to say the least. I think you should talk to you doctor about it. Worst case scenario they decide you don’t need it. Best case, you get a little bit of help and don’t feel like this anymore. 😘💕

Like... it's literally something you can't control. And if you suck at losing control, well, that's a pretty rough cycle right there. I'm sorry it's so hard to get help there. But don't let that be a barrier if it could help you feel like "you" again. Also, I am the biggest hypocrite b/c I need to get on meds too and I haven't done a damn thing about it.

klong11 , did you sign up C for horseback riding lessons? If so what does she think of it? She is on a waiting list with the second place I called. They said they would probably be able to get her in with an Aug/Sept start date.
I still haven't even told her. She's going to be so excited!

I hope his head is all better lahdeedah. nam2013 start the process of obtaining meds and that way they are there when you need them vs putting it off with “when this happens it will be better”. It might be but if it’s not at least you’ve got the ball rolling. I’m sorry you are having a rough time but how could you not be with a baby that doesn’t sleep well and a pandemic. There’s no shame in getting help.

I second what everyone else is saying. nam2013 I hate to hear how you are feeling and that it is ongoing. This pandemic is not over and by the looks of the variants, it won’t be over anytime soon. jewels Do it. I understand not really seeking it out. If I didn’t have a doc appointment that I needed for a wellness benefit at work, I don’t know at what point I would have sought it out. I’m glad I talked to the doc and she was supportive.

So this might be a confession on the tv front. I never watched The Fall. If my memory serves me right, I think it was popular. Im starting episode 1. Is it good? Creepy?
I don’t like torture thrillers, so if it’s like that tell me now.

I really liked the first 2 though.
