Pass Hello and welcome to the broken fanjo club! And you too BP It's a lonely fucking place to be! I am hopeful mine is very very fucking slowly getting better. Still can't fucking crouch without pain, hoovering, and heavier housework still hurts. As does bending, lifting anything heavy (hurts lifting O in car seat) stretching. Anything more than just light walking really. It's hard to describe. But yes, aching, and wanting to cup the old fanjo and push it back up is often felt! I often get stabbing pains, or dull aches. Quite a mixture. But then it involves a lot of layers, and inside and outside.

Ignoring the pain aspect, I am most distressed about the outside at the moment. The appearance of the scar is very fucking ugly. I am upset that I am left so scared down there. I wish I could show you a picture. But no. VQ would disown me for such behaviour .

I am also distressed about the lack of piss control. It is so random.

4 weeks til due back at work. Fairly certain I won't be back, and will take it month by month, as a week makes fuck all difference.

I am pissed off by not being able to go back. Actually I am angry about it, but it doesn't do me any good, so I won't get in to the reasons I am angry. I am seeing it as a positive that DP won't have sole charge of O for those 3 months he is off I will get more time with O.

Fucking pissed off. Just been to an event at school. Not allowed to take pram in, nowhere to sit, J threw up over me, and we were expected to do activities. Oh, and the Head said how big J was, and was that normal? I had to leave early as my back hurt so much I wanted to cry. DD1 understood thankfully. Then had to wait 20 mins in the snow. Fuckballs!

I think you win the award for most troublesome fanjo detective! If I ignore mine and plan to never dtd again it would be fine. When the nurse touched the sinus I nearly flew off the bed. She wanted to do a speculum but I told her in no uncertain terms where she could put that speculum - and my fanjo didn't feature. Just curious what's caused it, she thought maybe an infected stitch, but it's nowhere near where I had stitches so doesn't make sense.

I ...um... ooh a squirrel

Detective Would coming to me make it easier feed wise for you? I have bottle making paraphernalia

I have a tip - not sure if it will work for anyone else, but since it has for O - here it is.

Last night O was fussing with his bed time feed (tiredness I think?). I started singing a lullaby over and fucking over and he stopped fussing, and took a full 8oz bottle. He has only done this once before. Normally takes 5oz, sometimes 6. Did it again earlier when he was fussing with his 1pm feed. He took an extra ounce.

Also worked when I just clipped his nails.

The song I sing is 'Golden slumbers kiss your eyes, smiles await you when you rise, sleep little baby, don't you cry, and I will sing a lullaby'.

Absolutely mesmorises him! Think that is his favourite one!

Worth sharing any ideas at all I guess!

Care to regale us with tales of your troublesome baby making parts Luis ?

He also likes 'hush little baby'. But I don't know all the words, so make shit up for that!

I use Black Bird!

(That was @TheDetective btw not @Chasing )

Ha

bp possibly a hair ingrowing? Poor you. That sounds horrible

VQ I'd of gone ape shit at my mother for that. It's not on. And the comment too. Twats! He's a healthy gorgeous boy!

BP It sounds like it could have maybe been an area inside which tore but did not require stitching? Often there are bits inside which tear, but would be inappropriate to stitch, either through being very small, or very superficial, and to stitch would cause more problems.

Chasing and Luis You just made me almost piss my pj's. Bloody fuckers!

Chasing Yes, that would probably be easier? I could make 2 up for the journey and bring the sterilised bottles and powder? Then just make up when getting to yours, and cool?

Fucking complicated TUT!

PikzDS1 was harder in some ways, but at least he fed properly!! Gah!

And he slept. He just cried when awake!

Eliza Wow she is catching up fast! Bet she is growing out her clothes at supersonic speed now!

Sounds good to me Detective. I do have a steriliser too if you don't get chance to do them. There's a couple of pubs that serve food near me where we could have lunch?

BPLP ouch! How did you know? Was it just pain when DTD?

I've got excess discharge all the time now. Hoping its just my hormones. Not sure whether to go to GP about it. Won't they think its weird?

DS being a nap-dodger in the afternoons lately

Since joining this thread I can't keep up. I could keep up before. Hmmm.

chasing how did it go with ss? Hope you are ok.

detective i sing to O all the time. Sometimes she looks at me and I swear she wishes I shut the fuck up . Not a chance.

Went swimming today, hit all time low by getting out of the pool cause she screamed. She always cries when we get to the part to go underwater, she went only once in 7 weeks. Never mind, they asked us to bring googles next time, haha, I don't think I will need it.

VQ I am appalled at the school and the headmaster. He is a gorgeous healthy boy! Absolutely fuckwits. Massive cuddle.

Well SS was a bit crap really. They didn't speak to me on my own and made me tell them what happened. In front of him.
He did most of the talking and I sat there with tears in my eyes hugging O. They will submit a report and then tell us what will happen next. She said it is likely that the case will be closed but if it happens again they would take it very seriously and be concerned for O's safety.

I am fucking sick of amoxicillin poo!!!

Chasing that is crap :( I would have asked to see her on own. Did she leave any details?

Sounds awesome! Dp will sterilise bottles tonight, so no worries there unless he wants more than 6 feeds!!.

Am uber excited! My friend said she will let me know later today what time is good for her for a coffee! She is having some work done in her house, she thinks the builders will be done mid afternoon!

Have you ever taken O swimming? We could take them? I have been looking at what is on in Northmton. Not a lot tomorrow grrr!

One hand typing here - chasing, sounds much like what happened to me. No further action unless further incidents. I am not surprised sadly that they did not speak to you alone. :(

detective has anyone said how long O should be on LF? I am guessing he developed an intolerance after his bug? I am sure I read somewhere that the gut needs 2 months rest on LF. I am back at the HV tomorrow and have put in a request for a repeat px. The two tins they gave me will last until tomorrow lunchtime only. Hopefully they will give me more than 2 tins at a time. The difference in J is amazing, although he has started vomiting quite a bit. It does not bother him though. I will be interested to see if he has gained this week.

The Headmistress is lovely, but she does resemble a lollipop.
