i seriously can't believe the day i had. i'm sorry, i'm going to be lazy and cut and paste from an e-mail, i need to go crash but i wanted to update you ladies. here's what happened:
I left work today because I was in severe pain and had a high fever and I knew I probably had a bad case of mastitis, so I left to get to the doctor's as fast as possible to see if I needed to be hospitalized for intraveneous antibiotics. I had to park a few blocks from the doctor's and I was in so much pain walking that I tried to call my mom to talk me through it. Then I passed two men who saw my cell phone and mugged me. They took my phone and keys and wallet, but fortunately not my laptop that has my research on it, and I wasn't hurt at all.
Anyway, the doctor thinks that I have an aggressive antibiotic-resistant mastitis and is trying oral antibiotics overnight; if things are still worsening in the morning I'll be admitted to the hospital for intraveneous antibiotics.
Anyway, bottom line: I'm safe, everybody's safe, locks have been changed on our apartment, things are fine. I'll be a lot happier once I get this infection (probably MRSA) cleared, but we're treating it so early hopefully we can get it under control without lasting harm to the duct. Until then . . . yay for Codeine.

oh wow, that is awful and so scary! I'm glad that you are safe but I hope your infection clears up quickly without needing hospitalization.

I'm sure that was scary. So glad you're safe.
I hope you are feeling better soon.
After two losses, third time was a charm.

How scary. I am so sorry that happened to you.
I got mastitis 8 months pp and I got rid of it but now I am having all of these issues related to the old infection. I have to get a biopsy and everything because the infection left all of this debris in my duct. I actually have to go tomorrow. So ridiculous.
Awful. Feel better. Hope they get to the bottom of the mastitis and I am glad your safe.

OMG I am so sorry that you were mugged. Bad enough to be dealing with the infection but to be kicked while feeling down - just awful.
I hope the infection is cleared up soon!
Took the words right out of my mouth.

still BFing--i talked to the pedi and they said it's fine for my son to drink MRSA. isn't that weird? but i guess that the stomach acid just kills everything.
I hope the meds work and you can avoid a hospital stay. Thinking of you!
WTF?
get well soon, lady!
yes, we dealt with the university police all day today and we'll file a report with the city police tomorrow. there are a ton of police patrolling our street right now. what is scary (and the cops said this is unusual) is that the mugger repeatedly asked for my house keys--and he knows where we live because our address is on my driver's license. so even though we changed the locks, we are terrified.

I am so glad you are okay. We had our apartment and car broken into. I felt very violated. I hope you are dealing with everything okay and feel better soon!
What a terrible day!
