Phew....

Only a quick update for those of you wondering where I am. Crappy three weeks health wise. I had a fever and a cough for a week, went to the family doctor and he said it was a virus. I had my Remicade three days later. Got checked by the doc. there and he said I had pneumonia. So five days of wicked anti-biotic induced diarrhea I feel only minutely better but I continue on, still with a cough. Now we are up to Wednesday night. I go to a baby shower and coming home I get a very sharp pain in my right side almost like a burst. And every time I cough it gets worse and worse. By the time I get home I'm in tears, take some kind of narcotic I have in my Crohn's pain med stash and go to bed. I don't sleep for 10 hours. I get up at 8am and go to the hospital. Thinking it's either appendix, twisted/blocked bowel or something like that. After 6 hours in emerge, 3 blood tests, 2 shots of IV morphine and an ultrasound later I get diagnosed with a torn rectus abdominis muscle that tore from coughing so much with the pneumonia and subsequent coughing. So that's where I am. Sorry it's a quick post with a lot crammed in. I have to get to bed. Going back into daycare when you can't lift for 4-6 weeks is rough. I'll try to post more at some point this week.
