Recovering

On Friday afternoon, I was standing in my kitchen, talking to a friend when I got this sharp pain in my right breast...that would not go away. After an hour or so, it got extreemly hot and red (TMI, I know:)) and I started feeling like I had the flu. I got a fever and the chills along with every muscle in my body aching...it was horrible. I got a hold of the doctors office and they called me in an antibiotic for Mastitis (inflammation and infection of a milk duct)!!! I continued to feel horrible all night till my fever broke...I even had to cancel my class the next day at K2 (s0 sorry ladies:(... I will be repeating it again in July ) I pray that will be the one and only time I have to experience that!! Thanks for the prayers for the few of you that knew...

BTDT. My cousin just had it too--it's horrible! Not sure if anyone recommended it-but a hot shower and massaging it, as painful as it is initially, helps to "unplug" the duct. (Not sure if you'd want a hot shower w/ a fever--mine never got to be a bad fever). So glad you're recovering-now, hopefully it won't be long until you're back to your crazy/healthy self again. No marathons this weekend though, okay? ;o)

BTDT as well! It sucks! The massage in the shower works though. I was told, " if it doesn't hurt, your not doing it right." it hurt, but feels so much better later. :)
