Saturday at No. 6

June 1st, 2008

Stevel has been for a walk with Vibble. Laundry’s going, cats are settling in for their daily 12-hour naps.

I’m not feeling any better, really. Since the ER doctors ruled out anything of concern, I’m just taking Ibuprofen for the pain and waiting for whatever it is to run its course. I think it must the thing where the nursing hormones upset the uterus. I’m also losing a remarkable amount of hair right now, which I’ve heard can happen because of hormones related to pregnancy and early motherhood. Bottom line, self-diagnosis-wise, is that this whole baby-having hormones thing has, from the start, been toxic for me. No more having babies.

Cheri’s visit was such fun, and now that I don’t have it to look forward to anymore, I feel a little bit sunk. But there’s a lot of great stuff coming up very soon, and I’ll keep you posted. Meanwhile, a message from Cheri today reports that Dani, on her way into the big old city of Pittsburgh for a plastic surgeon follow-up appointment, announced her astonishment at the traffic—”So many cars, like, 22 of them!” Oh yes, she is so ready to come to L.A. one day.

And now, your daily Vibble.

    Ack. I’m glad you’re okay, but eww on ER waiting and feeling off. Let me know if you need company, reinforcements, or a Conchords viewing.

    That pain is “the missing”. Your ute is lonely now, and sad. Talk to it. Tell it thanks for the sentiment, but you’ll be going on your way now. Or, depending on your ute’s personality, tell it to shut the fuck up, that sick masochistic twat-blister.

    Oh yeah, this is prime hair loss time. I was surprised by just how much of my hair fell out around three to four months after Niels was born. I hope the pain stops. That doesn’t sound fun!

    DAD SAYS -

    “Go to the Doctor’s. Tell him/her EVERYTHING you can think of that may/could be symptomatic”

    You owe it to yourself, your husband AND your adorable, sweet, cuddely, precious, etc. etc. daughter.

    Have you thought that you just may be alergic to LA and need to move to Atlanta?
