So I have been sick for a little over a week and I am so done. I remember not liking being sick but being sick as a mom is easily the worst experience ever. First of all fearing that you are going to give it to your baby is heartbreaking and secondly not being able to take anything because you are nursing even worse. When I am sick I take NyQuil and ride out the storm in a nice hazy sleep for a few days until it is over. Now it's like here don't get a good nights sleep take care of your baby without getting him sick too. So needless to say I am done being sick, so I went to the doctor because I woke up with my eyes glued shut from goo and puss and let me tell you I haven't had that experience since I was like five and it's even grosser now than it was then. So the "helpful" doctor told me it was probably viral and that I had to basically wait it out but if it got worse I could go get some Rx eye drops. Oh well great that is exactly what I wanted to hear and here it is two days later still with red gooey eyes and a sore throat that is so painful I try not to swallow and I am pretty sure there is something growing in my throat at least there is a little white dot at the back of my throat where it is most painful. Anyway needless to say I am done being sick. I did think that the worst was going to be giving birth with a cough still that scared me but coughing after a c-section sounds OK now because at least then I was on some pretty good pain killers. Anyway I just felt like ranting and complaining a little to make myself feel better thanks for listening.
