More than enough going on here

As if having a c-section on Thursday (that's 4 days from now) isn't enough, please add strep throat to my list of medical accomplishments this week. I just got back from the hospital where I was hooked up to the monitor to make sure Finwe is okay, had my throat swabbed, and felt three contractions.

Finwe is okay, doing great actually. I'm miserable as I don't like to swallow and my lymph nodes are quite painful. I have to take penicillin for 10 days (1 pill every 6 hours), and try to be a good mommy while I feel like crud. Phill has taken care of the girls all day today. He even tried to start an art project with them. It is half finished, so I may have some work to do later.

Don't call asking if I'm okay. I'm not; the baby is. He's the one that matters right now. I'll make it through my third bout of strep throat in my lifetime. Those aren't bad odds.

No seriously. Hang in there. It is the bum's luck that you have strep right now. Hugs. NO KISSES. I will send you happy painless thoughts...yummy books, soft beds with lots of cushions and pillows, a gentle breeze, the sounds of nature, and oh yes...a cool drink with an umbrella/straw !
