that was the fix i thought i was going in for.......
i await a call from nurse and/or doc. another problem is that it stings and hurts. nurse suggested lidocaine, which helps for about 3 minutes. pain isn't symptomatic of a problem, so ignore it.
and another problem, as long as i'm at this, is my mucus output has more than doubled. previously it was bad, but now i go through 2-3 nursing pads/day. btw, nursing pads are wonderfully absorbent and convenient, albeit a bit bulky. janet
