Hi, I have Mastitis, how is your day?

Tuesday, May 27, 2008 by Bethany

If someone had warned me how painful mastitis is... I may have reconsidered nursing. Holy Damn! This sucks. And if anyone has a way to make antibiotics kick in faster, please let me know, been dealing with sharp pains from my left breast since early afternoon yesterday. It doesn't make for a pleasant night sleep. Or a day's nap. Or any sleeping whatsoever.

In other news, the kids are both still sick. So is The Husband, who along with sporting a healing rib fracture, is pretty sure he has pneumonia but is refusing to go to the doctor just yet.

So, if you see our family sneezing, coughing, or even just walking within a 10 foot radius of you and yours truly-- run. And do it fast! Quite possibly as far, far away as possible too. You never know what you might catch.

OUCHIE. Seriously, that is painful. Please look after yourself. I am really no good with the whole breastfeeding thing. When my now 12 year old was a baby I remember getting mastitis and in Australia, back then, they used massage therapy to 'help' it, can you imagine. I had it twice while breastfeeding the twins and the 2nd time it dried me up completely. Heat packs were the only thing that helped. Hope it clears up quickly.

Thank you for the kind comment this morning, you made my day :)
