Ow

[netmouse]

This has been a physically challenging year for me. A few months ago I sprained my ankle. Then I had allergies so bad I lost my voice. Then I had a cold and lost it again (it's almost fully back, but not quite.) somehere in there I sprained my right wrist. Then I sprained my right ankle again, worse. A week later my stomach hurt and my appetite was low so we concluded I was at risk of peptic ulsers so I stopped taking ibuprofen.

(conclusion on my right ankle was microtears in the ligaments. Started physical therapy today.)

Then yesterday, my left knee gave way. It used to do that almot anually but it's been ten years since the last time. Ow.

So today I feel like such a gimp. Rt ankle in a brace. Rt wrist in a brace. Left knee wrapped.

Therapists says as long as I'm breastfeeding, my ligaments will stay loose and I'll be at risk for injury.

In the meantime, well, ow.

Ugh. I sympathize! I had loose ligament trouble while nursing as well. In one episode I hyper-extended my knee, thankfully just by a small amount. In another series, my hips kept feeling like they were always going to give out on me. Anyway, take it easy and the good news is this all will get better when you are done.

Thanks. I do hope it gets better, though I note that if we do go for kid #2 in a year or two, that time is yet a ways off. I am *hoping* to get back in decent shape in between, but foot injuries make that really hard, and I've clearly gained weight, esp. around my middle, since the first sprain. Frustrating.

On a completely different topic, Rosie and I will be in Ann Arbor the second half of June. Want to get together for lunch or something? or might you bring the family into town for the summer fest some evening?
