Oh!

I finally know why I've been feeling so awful in the last few days, why I couldn't rouse myself from the chair, why every single joint in my body -- plus my incision -- ached incessantly.

I have mastitis! Duh.

I called Dr. W.'s office when the aching became terrible yesterday and I started spiking a fever, asking if it could be a side-effect of recovery from my C-section. The nurse was VERY NICE as she guided me toward the more logical conclusion. Hello, boob infection.

So now that I'm on antibiotics, I'm feeling much better, thank you very much.

Of course, and this is how awful I've become, my second thought was, "Oh phew! I was worried I wouldn't have anything to write about for Health.com anymore..."
