Tired, Worn Out, Well Loved


My Old Teddy, originally uploaded by poppalina.

I'm feeling so tired and worn out. I think all the post surgery stress, drugs, and lawsuit issues have a lot to do with it, but this morning was an immediate cause. Claire woke up screaming and writhing in pain. Comb and I tried desperately to figure out what was wrong. We'd never seen or heard her behave like that. I started thinking that she might have an intestinal obstruction, given yesterday's symptoms. After about 30 minutes, she started to calm down a bit. A few minutes ago, the director at Claire's daycare called me to let me know that Claire just suffered a fall and would have a severe black eye. Poor Claire! At times like this, I feel so exhausted because, try as I might, I cannot do anything to help her. I wish I could drive to her and lift her up to my chest, but these things are impossible right now. I feel tired and worn out, but very well loved.
