So tired. Little Monkey had a major fever last night and no one got much sleep because of it. She was uncomfortable and cranky. It earned her the privilege of sleeping in mom and dad’s bed. Poor booger felt like a fire bomb and she insisted on snuggling as close to me as possible. It was sweet but made me very sweaty.
A trip to the doctor this morning resulted in a catheter to make sure she didn’t have a UTI. Her 104+ fever with no symptoms posed a conundrum to all involved parties. After about 36 hours her fever has finally broke and some of her spunk is back. We shall see what else awaits. I hope the three year old Monkey Girl avoids whatever lovely virus this happens to be.
In other health news, we happen to have really good health care right now. I decided to take advantage of the quality care and made a battery of doctor appointments. Went to see my lovely dermatologist and, uh oh, I had some problem moles. UGH. I am in my early thirties and only marginally fair skinned.
There were two areas of concern which both required lots of cutting. The area on my face was a cyst with no sign of cancer but the mole on my back was bad. Yesterday, they cut a larger portion of my back out.
It really hurts. A piercing sharp hurt like the knife, scalpel, whatever, is still in there. Advil is doing nothing to take the edge off.
My 15 stitches will be around for two weeks. They will stop hurting and start itching in about three days.
Wear your sunscreen and slather those little ones.
