Cereal 4 Supper

Oh yeah, when you don’t get enough rest, your body has a way of making your rest.

I’ve had a sore throat and ear ache for about two weeks; didn’t really think much about it.  Got this weird little bump above my eye; thought it was a pimple.  Eye started to swell up and get red–no big deal–thought it was pink eye.  Headache for about a week–fairly common.

Went to the doctor yesterday after the pain in my head and eye became too much.  The diagnosis: herpes zoster (shingles).  Crazy.  The pain is off the chart.  I’m on medication, which has helped a little bit, but I’m going to be out of action for awhile.

Thank, thank you, thank you to my awesome family.  W went to the grocery store last night to get milk and a few dinner items and came back with all of my favorite comfort foods.  He took the midnight and four o’clock feedings, so I didn’t have to get up.  Oh yeah, the medicine I’m taking passes into the breast milk, so I’m pumping and dumping–that sucks.  I don’t have enough milk frozen, so FH is going to get his first taste of formula.  ugh.

All in all not much fun around here right now.
