A considerably better day than yesterday, so far. (Though the day definitely ended more favorably than it began, and dinner was the most AMAZING homemade lasagna ever

Round ligament pain was awful. TBH it scared me a bit. For what it's worth, mine went away as he got bigger. Go figure. It seems like that wouldn't be the case, but the worst thing I had to deal with toward the end was a hip that went numb every time I turned over on it.

I was about to post that it goes from OMGWTHOWWWWW! to just general soreness after about 6 or so months. Until then, it will sneak up on you and whack you every so often and you will HAAAATE it.
So that's two votes for "it gets better later".

I had sciatica near the end, which was annoying, but wasn't so bad as to be a serious, serious issue. Just a serious one. :P

Also, OMG I hate you for posting that link. Now I want them but TOTALLY cannot justify the cash outlay. Humph.

I wouldn't worry about Norway unless it happens again. We can all have an oops moment, right?

Yay plants! I'm really hoping my strawberries come back with a vengeance next year. *hopes*

The possibility for sciatica alarms me. That just doesn't sound fun.

(I KNOW... those flavors! *wantswantswants*)

Depends on where the baby rests, basically. If he or she ends up compressing the sciatic nerve, you're in trouble. In my case, it was mild; just a sore kind of pain down the side/back of my thigh for the last month or so. Nothing you can do about it, so don't worry!

If there were no bees, the strawberries might also not have been pollinated, though they should still send out runners and come back next year.

I suspect the strawberries were too runty when I planted them, or it was too late - I didn't get any blossoms, either! But they put out big bunches of new leaves, so I'm hopeful they'll weather the winter and come back well next year.

Please bring Norway to the vet immediately. That's what Chantico did for the few days before she died of kidney failure. It got worse with her, but that's how it started.

Eep! I will definitely keep an eye out for a repeat - he was fine last night, and it was a longer night than usual. He wasn't restless at all when I got up, and seems to have plenty of energy and appetite. If we have another night-time accident, I will take him in for testing, but I'm hopeful it was just too much to drink before bed, or not enough of a walk before bed or something random.

Darn - I thought at first the link to "homemade caramels" would lead me to a recipe! Not that it's difficult to find recipes for caramels... and I've got ginger, and I've got rum - I've even got sea salt...

Another vote for "It gets better" on the round ligament pain. I never had constant pain, but after awhile it seems like you adjust to it (or are too round) and are less likely to move in such a way as to trigger it.
Reading your post made me wince though. Oh, yes. I remember that pain well.

Maybe Norway has a UTI? I asked my sister (vet down in Anchorage) and she also recommended a vet visit.

[ellenmillion]

I'm keeping a close eye on him, but he was fine last night, and we'd gone to bed early, so he had a longer-than-usual night in, without any signs of restlessness, the times I got up. His energy and appetite are both excellent. But thank you - and most especially for the vote on this ligament pain getting better. I'm finding that if I stand up like an old lady, I'm just fine - it's just remembering to do that that's hard. :P

[polarbee]

It gets easier mostly because getting up gets harder. :)
