Mastitis

I have it. It hurts.

Fortunately, my OB is awesome and called in a prescription immediately, so I'm already on the mend. Yesterday, Munchkin and I sat on the couch and laid in the bed...all day. It was nice to take a day off, even if I was laden with chills and flu-like symptoms.

"Mastitis is an infection of the breast tissue that causes pain, swelling and redness of the breast. Mastitis most commonly affects women who are breast-feeding, although in rare circumstances this condition can occur outside of lactation." Mayo Clinic.

I've heard tee shirts w/ graphics cause mastitis.
Funny the last blog had your mammary glands center stage, and here we are today reading that they are sick puppies.
Rest. Fluid. More rest.

After suffering through mastitis three times...I feel your pain. It is horrible but you will feel better soon! Oh...the wonder of antibiotics:)
We were so glad you could make it to our Halloween party last night. Your little pumpkin looked adorable!
Hope you are feeling better soon!
