I am 29 years old (I will turn the big 3-0 on December 19th) and I am MISERABLE! It is day six, and I feel like my throat is on fire - or maybe that would be a relief! %-) I am scheduled to go back to work on day 10, and I need some words of comfort as I can't afford to miss any more work than that. I will only be working for 5 hours, however, and hopefully it won't kill me. I completely gag when I swallow because there is so much saliva, and I am grossed out by the thought of swallowing "scabs." I would love, love, LOVE if someone could reassure me a little about working. I have delivered three babies - one by c-section 7 months ago, and I would rather do that five times over.

I feel such a bond with all of you, and send my love!

XOXO
