The nanny calls it quits. Now, should I?

First things first.
Thanks to all of you my dear friends who wrote in with warm wishes, hugs, and advise. I'm sorry I haven't the time to reply to all of you individually, but A BIG THANKS FOR BEING THERE. I will follow up your suggestions/ideas. I think I need to concentrate more on homeopathy. Will change homeo doctors (will get someone closer home) and give it another shot.

Ok here's my venting for the day/night.
The nanny walked in this morning (she'd promised to come join work back today), only to tell me she can't make it any longer -- she's unwell and her children dont want her to work. I was quite expecting this, so I cleared her payments wished her well, and she quietly left.

So Nanny Hunt begins. AGAIN.
I'm tired of doing it, so maybe I'll quit so I dont have to hunt anym ore, I kept telling my self over and over again.

Sonny Boy is a tad better, though I can't figure out how to get the coughing spasms down -- wish I could melt the phlegm with something -- SOMETHINg!!!!  And wish I could push teh clouds aside, stall the cold Bangalore winds witha  giant wall and hug teh sun for the much needed warmth.

Aunt's surgery pushed forward but she will be staying with my folks to recover from some other infection because of which teh surgery couldn't happen. Aunt who had come to help mom is going back because hey!! there's no surgery!!

Tomo, I have to make THE CALL. To the workplace (the boss and possibly Big Boss at HQ) to ask for leave extension. Hmmm tough one, esp when we're pretty shortstaffed.

In all this hullaballo, I'm trying to overlook my back pain, dousing myself with muscle relaxants, analgesics and pain patches. Add to that some cough syrup and antihistamines and I'm a total wuzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

The only saving grace is that the boob pain and swelling has come down. Garima, tere muh me ghee shakkar-- wasn't it you who said it'll be gone? My antibiotics and anti-infammatory pills for this ends with tonight's dose. My fingers are crossed and I'm hoping there won't be any need for a biopsy. My doc says just watch a week to ensure there's no swelling up of symptoms again (pun unintended). Thanking God and holding my fingers tightly crossed.

If there are no financial constraints then I would say "Plz call it quits on work front" becoz there is nothing more satisfying than spending time with your kid and providing him everything possible to become a successful individual !

Oh wow you really have been going through a tough phase - just realized I missed your previous post and read it now! Hope things feel better soon - I am pretty sure the boob problems will get sorted out very soon. I went through some abscess scares after my 2nd pregnancy and remember thinking similar thoughts as you, but it settled down with antibiotics - so fingers crossed for you :).
Bangalore weather - it's even activated my allergies this time and that doesn't happen too easily so this is really terrible climate. For my son - nebulization works wonders(did i already mention that?). Homeopathy too - but I have issues with the time it takes so when things are really bad I don't have the heart to wait it out. Have promised myself that once he's 3 years old, i'll steel my heart and wait it out because he really needs to develop resistance :(.
Going back to work woes - hope a solution is in sight for you soon !
