as rough as I feel I keep reminding myself of Jana, and it puts things into perspective. I am going to the doctor again this morning though. After 4days of a 7day course of antibiotics I expect to see quite an improvement. So far there is nothing, so I'm not waiting for the end of the course thanks! Difficult to get stroppy with people though when all you have in your repertoire are soft grunts!!

DH is coming back tomorrow and I've never been this unenthusiastic, poor guy. Normally by now I'd be bouncing off the ceiling, but the pain spread to my ear overnight and I'm struggling not to cry really. Difficult to feel 'take charge' in this pathetic state. DS' comment this morning says it all: "Mummy, you look like you have lines on your face this morning."

I guess by going to the doctor today I AM taking charge... sorta...

Kerri.
