Recovery and returning to the swing of things

Today was busy. My boyfriend has come down with a bad sore throat, so I took up the reins of comfort today by making him a throat coat and pancakes this morning. We both subsequently fell asleep for a couple hour nap. (I seem to be able to nap a lot these days...)

I had an appointment with my therapist and spent my remaining afternoon and evening running errands and making chicken wild rice soup. I found myself carrying some heavy bags, and I think I now understand why I'm not supposed to: some bad cramping, more bleeding than I've had.

I took the advice of some support sites online and rested the rest of the evening with my heating pad on and my feet up. I noticed more breast milk leakage tonight, which is annoying. But despite all my running around this afternoon and evening, I took only one 600 mg Motrin today and felt a-okay!

I'm looking forward to returning to my normal schedule. Today felt good to take care of someone else, but now I'm zapped. Pulling myself into bed as I type...
