NoCapes thread 2 - No cape necessary

[NoCapes]

Can't believe we've filled up a whole thread
But I'm still not ready to be without you all yet ...

Sorry I asked you all to be online then I wasn't bloody here myself

All went fine, 3 polyps removed and a biopsy taken
I'm cramping a little bit now but I'm at Mama Capes' and she's taking care of me (of course!)

ExP sent a few texts throughout the day asking how I am and for updates and that's about it!

Pretty uneventful update that really wasn't it

Oh and Elf - hope his cock drops off and gets recycled by a womble just won the thread

Glad today went ok for you Capes and that mama Capes is taking good care of you. I second Elf's comment as thread winner! Genius

Yay for Mama Capes

Glad everything went well! Hope you're back to 100% or as close as us parents get soon!!

Glad you're ok, enjoy being looked after. I concur elfs comment is a winner.

Elf, genius. Pure genius

I'm really glad someone is looking after you for a change Capes. Mama Capes sounds ace

Chips chips you must have chips. They always make me feel better. Your bravery inspires us all. BTW. have had that procedure was in fighting form in no time at all.

Hope you get a good nights sleep after a big feed from Mama Capes! You're a bloody wonder Capes, your level of cope-ability is impressive!

Glad it went ok Capey...
Elf

Glad everything went OK at the hospital. Hope you're feeling OK this morning?

PrettyFly sleep is for the weak in my house, Ds2 prefers screaming all night to sleeping - tiz fun 🙄

But yeah feeling ok today, bit sore and I have a horrible headache (this headache is becoming a permanent feature lately) and I've run out of tea bags (!!!!!) but apart from that I'm ok
And in still in my pjs, Mama Capes is doing the school run today

And thanks everyone

Are you drinking enough Capes? I get the worst headaches if I'm dehydrated especially if I've been crying and doesn't count

Glad you're still in PJ's same here and Mama Capes is so super!! You should definitely take it easy today and have some good food (chips sound really good right now... At 8:30... If it wasn't for the fact I haven't DTD in months I'd think I was up the duff )

Your current state of stress, the newness, the challenges, the kids being ill, sleepless nights, plus not eating well, are likely the cause of your headaches.
Paracetamol & rest (cut out the wine!) will probably cure you.
Can you take time to sleep when baby has a nap?

Ha! I don't really drink, DS2 doesn't sleep enough for me to be drinking, love that you all think I'm a total wino though

I definitely don't drink enough though to be fair, or eat enough, although I could definitely eat some chips right about now too sky and I'm definitely not pregnant!

I think everyone just expects everyone to be on the on MN... I don't even like wine!!

I don't drink enough either tbh, never have done, used to drive my DM insane because i would never ask for a drink she'd have to plonk one in front of me to make me drink! I'm trying to encourage DD to have better habits than me

You sound like my DD, she never drinks! She can eat a whole meal and I'll have to shout her back to the table because she hasn't touched her drink
She went through a few months of having what seemed like permanent cystitis & UTI's, so now I'll say - 'what happens when you don't drink??' And she'll say ' my wee burns!' And go and down her water bottle

I forgot to add - you don't want burny wee wees sky - go and get a drink!

Haha funnily enough the only time I've had a UTI was when I was pg... And I was drinking 4 litres of water everyday then!

Glad yesterday went well and yes dehydration headaches/UTI are good reasons to keep the fluids up.
I do have another possible reason for headache. I get migraines after stress. Sail through the stressful stuff in fight mode and when it stops I end up with a migraine We had an absolutely hideous long running stress a decade or so ago and when it was all finally over it hit. I remember whispering to DH to try to get him to bring me the hand drill so I could drill into my skull to relieve the pressure . If I'd been able to move I would have done it
So perhaps this is some reaction to the worry and tension stopping? Either that or you've cut down on caffeine and it's that.

I quite often faint a few weeks after very stressful periods!

Have you tried Tiger Balm for headaches Capes? Fantastic stuff, apparently you can get it from Superdrug now, no idea if it's as good as the stuff the proper Chinese Herbalist shops sell but worth a try. A little dab on both temples and across your forehead, it will feel hot on your skin for a minute or two but then you get this sort of cool rush over your scalp and the headache just lifts. It's the White one you want, the Red is for muscle aches but is also fantastic. Glad yesterday went ok and hope you have a nice, relaxed day today to recover

My headache eased off in the afternoon, I think it's tiredness mostly tbh, ExP used to give me 4/5 hours sleep in the mornings each weekend and although I'm loving actually having a weekend now and not wasting most of it in bed, I think it's catching up with me losing out on that sleep
But I have been working on his sleep and he is getting much much better, it's just so relentless now - but I spose I need to get used to it ey!

Have to tell you all this, tiz just my luck - you know this night out that I'm going on tomorrow? My first night out in about 2 years?? Well DS2 whacked me with a TV remote yesterday annnnddd ... I have a black eye! Full.On.Shiner!
Like, seriously kid?!
