Morning lovelies.
I second popping out for a walk chasing. Just try to clear the worst of the fog. Things will be tough but you do have support so make sure you take full advantage. Are you suffering from lack of sleep? Could your dad or step mum look after O for even an hour? I find I can't sleep if P is in the house so when I have asked parents to give me an hour or so I have been super cheeky and sent them out for a coffee.
Also, I suspect that right now going back to what you know seems comfy and easy. It wouldn't be. You would go back, feel relieved and happy to be home in your flat. P would be happy he had got his own way so would be in a good mood for a day or two but then you will find yourself back on egg shells. Just as exhausted physically and mentally but with the added fear.
I have never been through what you are going through - tell me to piss off if I have got it wrong.
bry I am delighted it sounds like whatever LO had is fading. I had CP as a wee girl and it lasted one day with one blister. I was about 8 but different immune systems will cope differently. I am very interested as it turns out the wee bit who was at our childminders when we visited now has chicken pox.
clarella I am so sorry that this just goes on and on. I also can't imagine what it must be like playing 'what the duck is wrong?' Cluedo with a partner who appears to be diametrically opposed to whatever you suggest. What does of omep is LO on? The paed gave me a minimum (he forgot to give the max) and a supposed max and the idea was that I could nudge up or down as I felt necessary. Getting a min and working up by 0.5 a day until he can be pain free without the wind might be a plan. Is wind the only reason DP has for not wanting to give the meds,
Hooray for you pikz! Sounds ace.
Thinking of you today BP! I wonder if Mr Pig will join us instead?
luis's summary of the thread was quite an eye-opener. Made me very thankful for DH. Even if he did try to settle P last night by lying on her floor reading his iPad while she held the bars of her cot staring at him like a little convict. She was quiet and had stopped crying so fair play to that! Personally I think she was a bit astonished - she threw me a look as I walked in as if "what's he doing?"
I finally went to the doc yesterday for this endless fucking cold/cough/sinus infection. Worked out I have had it for two months. Got antibiotics which I started last night - I feel terrible this morning which I am telling myself is the infection shifting.
