Health update

My digestive system seems to have mostly returned to normal operating procedures, touch wood. I also slept most of today and will likely be turning in early on top of that, which makes sense, since my body is probably worn out from all of that infection fighting and healing. I'm honestly surprised I didn't sleep more during the worst of it! I am still feeling a little bit queasy here and there, and my appetite is not quite back to normal, but other than that I think I'm past the worst of it.


Another quick thing, since I haven't brought it up in absolute ages: My IUD is working great for me! As predicted by my medical team, there were a rocky few months (very rocky), but things smoothed out, and by about six months after I had it installed, I'm down to some very light spotting, occasional light cramps that I can barely distinguish from feeling bloated, and occasional headaches. I'm pretty sure my last mention of my IUD was complaining about it, so I wanted to make sure I made things clear: I am very happy with it and, provided my state doesn't sink 100% into anti-choice hell before then, I will be getting another one once this one runs out of juice.

Still tired today, and at work; some pickle juice helped me get through the day, so I'll likely be stocking up on more Gatorade tomorrow.

Yes! I am quite pleased with it, as you seem to have gathered 😉

More gatorade sounds like a plan! I'm glad you were well enough to go to work, but I hope you still get the needed rest.

Well, I've got tomorrow (technically today at this point) off, so that should help! Also we've had visits from the niblings the past two days, and while I love them, they aren't particularly restful 😂 Elder Nibling has (re?)discovered enthusiastic indoor screaming, and it is... a lot. I don't think the niblings are scheduled to be back with us today, but they technically weren't scheduled to be with us on Sunday, either...

More Gatorade is very much a plan, not least because it seems that Mom picked up the bug now 😞 Good luck, Mom!

Enthusiastic indoor screaming is one of the most difficult expressions of enthusiasm to deal with, heh. Young kids can be tough. Hopefully you've gotten some more rest opportunities!

Bummer that your mom has the crud, too. :( Hopefully she recovers quickly, and the niblings don't catch it.
