Elora has a cold.
Her poor little nose is all stuffed up and she can't breath through it. And they won't let you give little ones cold medicine anymore cause of the dosing. I can understand that... but at the same time... my baby doesn't feel well. And I can't fix it.
So pretty much I wipe her snotty nose and wait it out.
Hopefully she's feeling better by Monday because they won't give her a flu booster if she's sick. And the only thing they're gonna recommended for the cold is saline spray and a vaporizer.
Boo
I guess going 7 months without being sick is pretty good.
And also... I'm broken.
Lately my knees have been hurting. Not suprising considering I've been on my feet alot more lately with work and i've got about 30 extra pounds to support. Crazy has knee problems too. So... they hurt when I bend up and down. Normal getting older stuff I guess. I might mention it at my appointment on Tuesday (that is if I don't decide to see if they can squeeze me in tomorrow instead). It probably couldn't hurt if I lost a little weight. It's not a major issue.
The major issue?
My shoulder has been bugging me off and on lately. Making really weird crunching noises when I move it (like it was popping but louder), aching here and there. It also started going numb when I was falling asleep. Funny thing was, it wasn't going numb when I was laying on my arm. It would just kind of fall asleep without me putting any pressure on it.
Then it would be really stiff and sore some days. Most of the time I could pop a couple of tylnol when it was bugging me and I'd be fine.
This morning when I woke up I didn't trust myself to pick Elora up. It hurt so bad I was almost in tears. It gradually got better the more I moved it but there's something wrong. I didn't even sleep on it last night.
So if it's that bad tomorrow morning, then I'll see if they can squeeze me in sometime tomorrow.
I really hope it isn't a big deal... but the fact that it's been getting worse kind of points to the fact that it might be a kind of big deal.
Bummer.
Random Reader: Awww not another little one who's sick I hope she gets better soon. It's a shame there's no miracle cure for them when they are so young, it must make parents feel helpless at times. I hope it passes quickly!!!
There's not a whole ton they can do about arthritis running in the family. I know they're going to tell me that it wouldn't hurt to lose a few pounds... which is true. It's not really a big deal.
My shoulder is what has me worried. It goes numb when nothing is pressing in it to cut off circulation. That's a pretty big red flag.
