I’m falling apart

by Marilyn on January 6, 2006

This has been a rough week, comfort and health-wise.? I spent a great portion of hte week feeling distinctly ill.? See, normally (at least normal to this pregnancy) I would start to feel sick if I ignored the hunger pangs long enough.? But this last week I never got the hunger pangs.? Just straight-line to the nausea.? Fun, huh?

But oh no, that’s not all.? Wednesday evening/night through Thursday afternoon I had a *vicious* headache.? I get these from time to time… migranes.? Not as bad as some people get them, but they’re persistant devils.? Normally I would load up on 800 mg of name-brand Motrin.? That’s generally the only thing (save Vicodin) that can obliterate those bastards.? Being pregnant, my choices were limited to 2 Tylenol.? Which is like trying to kill a dinosaur with a bee-bee gun.? Doesn’t work too well.? So I spent a lot of time in bed, sleeping and moaning in pain.

That would probably be enough, but I’ve had this other “affliction” over the last week.? I’m not going to go into too much detail but let’s just rest assured that it’s pretty nasty.? It involves some sort of “owie” in a difficult place.? An owie that kept getting more owie each day, until it got difficult to walk without looking like a bow-legged cowboy.? Then last night? apparently the dang thing *ruptured* and began too ooze and bleed all over.? Like I said, pretty nasty.? So with K’s help, we’ve bandaged this “affliction”.? Thankfully, it hasn’t hurt as bad today.? But come on.

So yeah, totally falling apart here. ? I’m going to keep my fingers crossed that nothing else falls off/dissolves in pain/gets puked up.
