| The only good things about breast infections so far is that they have occurred on the
weekends. That's right. This weekend brought yet another breast infection.
It's a good thing we did our big Costco shopping trip on Friday night, because
otherwise it wouldn't have been done. On Saturday morning I woke up with a painful
right breast. I thought it was just another plugged duct. By Saturday afternoon, my temperature was on the way up. I called my doctor and he prescribed another round of the cephalexin antibiotics. My temperature was higher than it was 2 weeks before, making it all the way up to around 103 before dropping. This infection came on much faster decided to hang on a little while longer than the last one. Before all was said and done the left breast had been affected a little bit too, but the infection was mostly in the right. So my weekend was full of feeling hot and feeling chilled, sore breasts, and expressing every couple hours. I was not a happy camper, but at least Joe was home to take care of Rebekah while I rested and took care of myself. Still, I found myself missing my own Mother and wishing she were here. As the weekend ended, the infection seemed like it might be going away, or was the fun just beginning? |
