In which adulting is hard

[rolanni]

So, yesterday was a dead loss, which I mostly spent huddled on the couch, regretting my birth.  Man, these are some fun meds.  The Crack Coon Cat Nursing Team sprang into action and, around about suppertime, I was feeling closer enough to the thing to actually finish my WorldCon survey, and edit the interview.

Lest you think they're slackers, the CCCNT also took the night shift; at one point, I woke up to find Sprite draped across my stomach, Belle curled on my shoulder, and Trooper stretched out along the length of me. It must have been cozy, because I went right back to sleep.

This morning, we appear to have reached an accord, whole-body-wise, and! the swelling and redness have definitely diminished.  We're not out of the woods yet (and still six days to go with the meds), but apparently we've found the path.

Obviously, there will be no pickleball for me, today.  I had held out some idea that I would go to the gym and putz about (gently) with the strength machines, but...I will err on the side of conservatism, stay home, catch up the work I should have done yesterday, and get on with today's business, most of which can be done from the Comfy Chair.

I do need to call my boss at the hospital, explain the situation, and figure out how we want to handle my Wednesday shift.

. . .and I think that's all the news from the Cat Farm for the near past.  Hope y'all have a good start to your week.

Hey! Whatcha doin?

Definitely stay home and take care. You don't want that to get out of hand.

Use of Comfy Chair and CCCNT

Some days it is best to sit in the Comfy Chair and let the world entertain you. Especially if you have a good book to hand and someone else answers the phone or door.

As for the CCCNT: It sounds like they act as Hot Water bottles and bolster pillows. And since none were actually "on" the afflicted site, cozy and warm usually beats out a dull ache when trying to get back to sleep.

Ugh. Best wishes for a most speedy recovery.

Oh! Infections are horrible things. Did the pharmacist encourage you to take probiotics throughout the course of (although not at the same time as - try to space them 4 hours from any antibiotics) and for at least a couple of weeks after? Nasty things may happen otherwise and we certainly don't want that.

Sending healing thoughts and kudos to the CCCNT for stepping up in this unfortunate situation ~

I'm glad you're feeling better and hope healing proceeds apace.
