Breast Feeding In Public Part 2

It came to my attention that somehow this site is connected to my other site. It wasn't supposed to be viewable by my friends and family. Now, I want to let my friends know that part of the post may have been miss worded. Let me try to be clearer.

It's not a naked boob with a baby attached in a seat at a restaurant that makes me say get thee a towel. It's not someone seated in my home that has been invited in who has a baby and that child removes the blanket that I think about at that moment. No it's the woman who traps me at my register while her husband silently pleads with me not to make a big deal of her non baby attached nipple swinging out for the baby to attach to whenever it feels the need that makes me say dear gawd woman cover the F up. There is a camera taping that moment. Do you, as a woman, really want your nipple on record for management to stare at later? She was practically daring me to make a deal of it and I didn't. I refused to give her the satisfaction and then I came home and silently complained about it in what I thought was a anonymous forum that would get little to no views. I should have known better.

And for people who think that a boob loses it's attractiveness when I baby is attached, it doesn't. I have a horribly hard time not staring at a breast while a mom is nursing and if I glance to long I'm suddenly the one in the wrong. It's the same thing as writing something across your boobs or butt. I'm going to read it.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Pneumonia

On Thursday, I went to the doctor and saw a doctor associated with my primary. I should have waited a day and seen my doctor. She might have ordered the x-ray that would have showed the pneumonia earlier and saved me days worth of high fever and ick. I told the new lady that my history was complicated but she just took a short listen to my lungs and said Upper Respiratory Infection. Just get lots of rest and fluids. I might have pushed for more if I had felt on Thursday how I felt on Friday. Instead, I had a fever of 102 +, for 3 days before I gave in and went to the ER. Turns out that I have Pneumonia not a URI. Now I go to my doctor on wednesday for a double check but so far I feel I'm getting better.

Why Do I Eat?

I swear I'm going to give up eating. Ok, maybe right after I have the roast I so lovingly made for my husband that he didn't like. Thinks I over cooked it. I think it's perfect. Shrugs, I'll eat it. It's probably going to leave me rolling around the floor in pain though. It seems that the good feelings I had while at AnthroCon was because I kept forgetting to eat. Now that I'm back to eating 3 meals a day I'm in pain all the time. Why do I do this to myself? I feel bad so I eat. Eating makes me feel bad. I feel bad so I eat. It's a never ending cycle.

Over Now Please

Ok, so I understand that the doctor wants to do lots of testing and make sure there was nothing else wrong that could be causing problems. I get that. I am so done with testing. I don't wanna pay so much in tests that I can no longer afford to get my gallbladder taken care of. I need this done. I feel sick and hurt lots. My side is uncomfortable lots of time. My best days were the days I was at anthrocon and kept forgetting to eat. Not eating is the only thing that keeps me feeling ok. Sigh. Cheese, Chocolate, and Coffee my dear friends, I wish I could see you more.

Breast Feeding In Public

In honor of the 4th of July I'm going to tackle a rights issue currently blowing up in MI.

Breast feeding in public is legal in MI (I believe this is standard in most states) but does that make it right. Now, before you get all up in arms, I'm not attacking a moms right to feed their baby. Find a corner, sit down for a moment, cover up with a blanket, and feed your baby. Heck walk around getting stuff done while breast feeding but put a cover over your baby and your tit. I don't need to see it. You don't want me to stare at it. If I looked at your tit while you were feeding your baby and say "Nice boob." You'd be mad. If you would be mad at me commenting on it I shouldn't be able to see it. I don't see what the issue is with getting one of those covers to put over your breast. Go to the salvation army and buy a towel.

OBGYN

So I saw my OBGYN on tuesday. It was a good news bad news visit. I can go ahead and have a baby. I can stay on arixtra. However, AriXtra does travel the placenta. It hasn't been found to cause birth defects but they've really only had case studies and no long term data. Something might happen that can't be predicted. If I go back on the Lovenox as the doctor would like I'll be sick as sick can be and might lose the baby. If I don't I might be endangering my baby later in life. Just kill me will you. Oh and the GI doctor has to figure out what the F he plans to do about my gallstones. If I need surgery I need to before baby or it has to wait til afterward.

Vacation

I went on vacation this weekend and had so much fun. We left thursday morning early and just got back into town this afternoon. I only had one bad day. I had some coffee and pizza in one day and suddenly I felt awful. I'm debating changing my diet. It's always something I swore I'd never do. I love cheese, chocolate, and coffee. I'm thinking about seriously limiting how much of those things I eat. It makes me feel icky.
