not feeling well
Went to bed at 8:30, slept all night I think, but I feel completely drained, my stomach is unhappy, and looking at pictures of food is enough to make me understand I shouldn't put anything in my mouth. Just really thirsty, and fuzzy headed, and my stomach is jumping around badly.
Mom's infection is going down easily, which is great, but she was really annoyed that she's still breaking out. "This medicine is NOT working!" Had to explain the meds are NOT for poison ivy, there's no pill to stop that, they're all for the infection. And that she needs to STOP using the hydrocortizone and use ONLY the calamine lotion, because the goal is to DRY THESE OUT, not keep them moist with an ointment. Yeah, that doesn't work for her, it keeps spreading and it itches bad and the calamine just makes her skin turn white and doesn't do anything so she's NOT going to use it and she is using the stuff that works. I told her THIS is why you put socks on kids hands when they get this, so they HAVE to leave the sores alone!!!!!
That sound you heard is me giving up this whole slamming my head against a wall venture I've apparently undertaken unknowingly.
Ugh. Long day ahead.
