Owww...

hey jax, hope you are feeling alot better today! i love your little pic you added on top of the ticker, its soooo cute!!

Jax, I think you and I need a little talk about the definition of rest!

Now get to that couch girl!

Ahhh... CSI: Miami...

Just a quick update.

Thought things were slowly but surely getting better, although I've had cause to reconsider and will get to that in a minute.

Anyway, the doc at the hospital said to take a week off work, albeit didn't realise I'm not in a typical monday-friday job and when she wrote down five days only gave five consecutive days (not including the weekend). Anyway, in the last week some of my days were rostered off, and the other TL I spoke to (not my own, there are two) said to give them a call when I was feeling better and we'd sort something out. I rang *my* TL today to say I'd be happy to come back Wednesday (rostered off Anzac day), and she actually sounded kinda annoyed ! I'm trying not to take it personally, because she was only on-call (rather than physically at work in our building), but the way she handled it still got up my nose a bit, mostly the part where she said "Well, you're the one who's been sick, it's your call..." Because I felt she'd rather have me back tomorrow than Wednesday. *sigh* Well, baby comes first I'm afraid, I just hate it when I get these vibes from people, especially at work !! They've otherwise been really good about everything (and I really will only have missed four rostered shifts in total not counting my rostered days off).

So, about my 'cause to reconsider' how well this is healing, the "attacks" (stabbing pain from ligament problem) have decreased somewhat in frequency and duration, but not quite so much in intensity. If I'm really lucky it's only once a day, and then going to the loo to take a bit of pressure off will help, and so then the pain only lasts maybe a total of 5 minutes.

On average though, it will still happen a couple of times in a day, which is entirely manageable I guess - but tonight there was an exception. Fortunately, I suppose, it was brief - but I was watching CSI (on tv LOL and it was the original vegas baby, yeah !) and went to get up to the loo and WHAM ! Ow ! *cringe* It was like someone had put a REALLY sharp knife in there. So I shuffled down to the toilet since the pressure was probably what had brought it on, but it was still SO painful that I couldn't sit down properly to pee

You know what? I'm rambling. Not sure why, could be me being tired of being tired, and a bit restless I spose. It's just that on one hand, this pain / ligament problem is "bearable" despite the fact that I would rate it a 9.5 out of 10. On the other hand, I would be quite happy to stay at home longer despite how bored I get, but it would affect us financially, and I really don't want to have intermittent, random, stabbing pain through the rest of my pregnancy.

I guess I just had to put this out there, to feel a little better... sorry to whinge so much !

Thanks, I needed one of those ! It's not that I'm not grateful for everything I have because I know I'm in a damn good position, but GAH... effing hormones ! (And it's the ligament holding up my uterus that gets inflamed, then my bladder puts pressure on it and hey presto ! Ow ow ow...)

LMAO thanks, I hope so too !
