Me, to the doctor, earlier today.
I explained that I was using saline, steam, olbas oil, sleeping face down to aid drainage, and so on. And he prescribed antibiotics, which was what I expected. Ick. Not a lot I can do about it. Rob can't keep missing work just because I can't stand up (haven't we been here before?!) so I have to get well.
Now I have to stay awake until it's time to take the next dose, because once I go to sleep Rob is finding it very very difficult to wake me.
At least he's able to make up his lost work-hours by working from home, a bit.
The contractions are much milder than usual, at least. They stop me in my tracks, but don't make me breathless. I think I'm having fewer, too.
And Linnea is fully and entirely recovered, apparently; full of beans and bounce, though still coughing. And we've found drop-in childcare that's open for two two-hour periods a day and needs only a day's notice to use.
