Yes, the winter vomiting bug has visited our house. First ur little boy got it and then me and my husband. Yesterday was spent in a daze, mostly all three of us laying on the bed half asleep. It was truly awful. I have never felt so drained. I think I had more energy after the birth even. It didn’t help that Tycho refused food and bottles and only wanted to breastfeed. Not sure how much nutrition was in that milk…But after 12 hours in bed, we all feel better. But I really don’t feel like doing that again any time soon. Tycho was amazing though, slept well in his bed while me and Steve were being sick, and played nicely on the floor as I was laying n the sofa trying to muster up some energy to stack some of his cups for him to knock down. I felt like a lousy parent, the poor boy much have been bored out of his mind. It doesn’t help that both him and me have been suffering from a very persistent cold these past 2 weeks. So this weekend we are entering the 3rd weekend of being sick. I am getting very fed up of it all!
In all the throwing up action I must have pulled a neck muscle as it hurts a lot. Hopefully it will pass soon. The MS hasn’t been too bad touch wood. My hand was hurting a lot when my cold was at its worst, but I don’t really know if it was MS related or not. It was a wandering pain that moved from wrist to fingers to the middle of the hand. In fact I think it was swollen and a bit red one day, so I don’t think it was MS related.
Anyway, I am very ready to not be sick anymore, I have had enough of it!
