Chaos and Calm

Sick (and possibly dying)

I'm sick. Very. VERY. Sick.
I just got over an ear infection a week ago.
I started coming down with a cold/flu thing a few days ago. Despite feeling like death, I didn't get down to the doctor... Brilliant idea, Katherine.
So, being nearly 11 weeks pregnant, and feeling very unwell, when I discovered (WARNING: May be a little too much info) bleeding this morning, I hauled my butt to the doctor, panicking, with a slightly less unwell, but equally unhappy Master Four Year Old in tow.

Some poking and prodding, and a minor loss of dignity later, all is well with the pregnancy, but not with me.
Sinusitis.
Throat infection.
Bronchitis.
Kidney stones.

I have had kidney issues for as long as I can remember, but NOW is not the time for my body to decide to get kidney stones. Not that there ever is a good time. But seriously. My body must really hate me for something. And right now, that hatred is very much mutual.

Feeling so horrid, I didn't take my camera out. I didn't take any photos. But Master Four Year Old did. He turned my camera on me. A DSLR, on manual focus... And this is his photo. Not bad...
He told me, looking rather smug at the quality of his photo, "Wow, you look REALLY sick, Mummy. But it's a good photo. You are going to put it on your computer and facebook for all your friends to see how good I am at taking photos, aren't you?"

Seems so, kiddo.

Back to bed, sneezing, coughing, and feeling like I'm dying.

You know that it could
Some day be the death of you."
