I woke up in sooooo much pain from my tonsils. Edi-Rae woke up with a swollen eye lid too. Thank god our nanny came because if I had no help today I probably wouldn’t have survived. I booked Edi-Rae and I in for the doctors for a checkup because we have been sick for far too long now. I just finished a course of antibiotics and a course of steroids for this tonsillitis and that hasn’t worked so I have no idea what to do as I can’t see the ENT until late November. Thank god for nurofen that’s all I can say.
We got to the doctors. I feel like I am here so often. I walk in and it’s like hey it’s me again! Edi-Rae has a sinus infection, so has antibiotics to clear that. This is how Paddy’s journey to grommets and adenoids out started so let’s hope this isn’t a regular thing . The doctor took a look at my throat and was like woahhhhh that is nasty. He has given me another course of different antibiotics to try. I really don’t like taking antibiotics like this but I’m in so much pain I don’t know what else to do until I see the ENT who can hopefully guide me better.
Today was meant to be a work day but I feel like I got absolutely nothing done. This always happens! I am getting worse and worse at time management. I was listening to a podcast about ADHD and I definitely feel like I have that, but only since I became a mum. I was fine before that. It’s like my brain has too much to think about and it has just stopped functioning properly due to the mental load. Do I go to a psychiatrist and get assessed? Or is that just more that I have to think about so maybe I should just ignore it? Does every mum feel like this?! I’m so confused.
