Update

I've long been a supporter of modern medicine (that's not really a secret), but I just have to say how grateful I am for antibiotics and their fast-acting properties. After an injection, and a day and a half on an oral antibiotic - I am feeling much, much better.

If what I felt Wednesday evening was 100% sick (which I'm pretty sure it was) then today I am down to only about 15-20% sick. I'm still a little sore and have a slight headache but the fever, chills, nausea, vomiting and body aches are all but gone. (Hooray!)

My plan is to take it easy today so that we can still go out to the temple tonight. I am SOOOOO glad that it wasn't any worse than it was (it was definitely bad enough) and I am glad to be feeling more like myself again. I hate being sick.

I guess I shouldn't complain though - at least it isn't swine flu!

If your mastitis was anything like my mastitis, you would opt for the swine flu instead.
Glad you're feeling better.

It's funny - I'm usually not a big medicine person, but mastitis is one I don't even consider messing with. After the first time I learned to call as soon as the first sign hits - it makes such a difference! Glad you got to feeling better so soon :)
