I didnt know where to put this, since it isnt really IC related, (at least not yet!), but I just need to whine a bit. I have had a pretty rough few weeks. Collin was out of school all last week sick with a double ear infection, upper respiriatory infection and pink eye. (He also missed a few days the week before with pink eye. Then it came back and had the other things too.) My husband left town again and just got back today. He has been on business trips 3 times in the last 6 weeeks. When he is gone, it places alot of extra work on me looking after the farm animals, plus, with Collin home all last week, and no break from him, I am just pretty run down right now.
I caught the pink eye from him and for the last few days, my throat feels really swollen and hurts. I also am running a slight fever. I am on Penniclillin VK and r/x eye drops, but I just started the Penn VK today.
If all that werent enough, 2 weeks ago, the laptop tore up. My husband works on computers for a living and took it to work to look at it. Apparently, Collin spilled a soda on it unkbeknowanst to me. My husband went off when he saw it inside of it, and tried to fix it but it was no use. Now I have no laptop. We have another computer (a dinosaur) that is in the bonus room upstairs. I have been having to come up here to use this one, and it hurts me to sit for very long. That's why I havent been on much (and wont be on as much or able to post as much) from now on. I know this probobly sounds petty to most of you, but for me, it is a huge blow, since I am in bed most of every day, and going online to post to people was one thing I could still do to feel useful...like the IC didnt take that away from me. Now, I feel robbed of that. I just cant sit (or be in any postion for very long) b/c of the pain. I dont post how bad I am very often b/c I know there are plenty here worse than me and talking about it doesnt change anything anyway. But, with the laptop, I could at least feel normal while I was online. Now, I cant even do that. Money is too tight to replace the laptop right now. There are so many other things we need worse and to be honest, he thought I spent to much time on their anyway, (which is probobly the real reason he wont consider getting a new one.)
To top it all, when I logged off earlier tonite, and started downstairs, I fell down about 8 of the steps. Luckily, I didnt break any bones, but I took the skin off my forearm on one side, twisted my back and ankle, bruised my back, shoulders, arms, legs, and I cant move 3 of the toes on one foot. They are swelled up to 3 times their size and it hurts to walk or move. (I couldnt sleep either b/c every time I'd finally find a postion that didnt kill me, I'd move out of it during my sleep, and the pain would just sear thru my body and jolt me back awake.
Thanks for listening and coming to my pity party.

I remember those days. My son when he was little use to bring it home to me also. That is no fun waking up with your eyes glued shut.
! Sometimes I feel like I should get one of those emergency things to wear around my neck in case I fall and I can't get up 
I hope you're not seriously injured! I know you don't want to go to the dr, but if your pain and swelling continues, it would be a good idea, I'm sure you know this already. Keep us posted if you can. I'm gonna call you to get an update in case you can't get to the computer.
