Thank goodness I didn't make plans this weekend because I'm having a hard time over here.
I was up late last night with Calypso because her breathing sounded worse than usual (she has chronic respiratory crud). I ended up taking her to the bathroom and turning the water on hot and sitting with her for a while so she could breathe the steam. It seemed to help, thank goodness. I was reading online and saw that we could do a drop of child Afrin in each nostril for 3 days, then stop. We have some on the way for if she gets in bad shape. I don't think it would hurt to have it on hand.
I got up early this morning to see the balloons, but then I went back to sleep since I got to bed late. I got up and didn't do my walking. I had water and Lactaid milk and my vitamins/daily meds for breakfast, like I normally do. Everything was fine... until it wasn't.
TMI: I did a dooks. It was fine.
But maybe a minute after I was done I started having the worst cramps OF MY LIFE. I say this as a person who's had 3 IUDs inserted and two removed - one of which had to be dug for and no, I was not given any pain meds for any of that. I say this as a person who pushed another person out of my body. I say this a person who had impacted wisdom teeth cut out with only local anesthesia. I am not a pain wimp, but today tears came out of my eyes due to how much it hurt. I was nauseated due to the pain. It was bad and it lasted for about 45 minutes before it eased up enough that I napped a little.
It was in the center of my abdomen, beneath my belly button. It was sharp and mean and deep. There were two waves, and they lasted about 15 minutes each. I felt it from my guts down to my cervix. We've all had gas before, and it was not like any sort of gas I've ever felt. I also haven't farted all day since then. My abdomen is very tender to the touch, and sore like it was a workout. I was exhausted afterwards and have been tired all day since. I am going straight to bed after I get this posted because I am so tired.
If anyone knows what that might have been about, I would love to hear your ideas/experiences. I've never had anything like that happen before and I'm really hoping it will never happen again. But in case it does, I'd like to have an idea of what caused it or how to stop it.
Other than that, Shaun built part of the greenhouse base, but ran out of screws. I had some housework I wanted to do and we had errands we needed to run, but I wasn't really up for leaving the house after hurting so bad. It ended up being a TV/movie day and that's ok.
I hope y'all are doing well. Goodnight. ❤
