I’m typing this as I’m on hold to make an appointment with a doctor. Apparently my symptoms warrant me being seen TODAY, or tomorrow at the latest.

On Saturday, I noticed that I had some yellow discharge from one of my breasts. Of course in the back of my mind it could be, you know, SOMETHING BAD that starts with a C, or it could just be (and probably was) a plugged duct.

When they say they want to see me TODAY, it makes me think of that BAD thing that starts with a C.

***

I have an appointment at 2:40 TODAY. For my hopefully plugged and infected duct, and not, you know, something BAD.

FREAKING OUT.

Share with others

thinking about you.

VISUALIZING YOUR HEALTH (Im not a traditional pray’er) and calm.

xo xo,

Miz.

Must be a bad week for boobs. Last week, I saw a needle AND a scalpel come at my nipple to remove a clogged milk-hole thingie.. SO nasty.

Good luck and keep us posted.

ohhh….hoping it’s nothing more than a clogged duct.
boobs are scary sometimes.

designHER Mommas last blog post..giving it away….

Sending you some god vibes. Like AA, I also had a milk duct problem that warranted a biopsy (since they didn’t know what it was at first). And that was about 9 months AFTER I stopped bf!
Hope you are the same and it’s all good once it’s over! (((hugs)))

Infected duct work. Sounds like you may need a plumber. Or a doctor. Whichever suits you. Let us know. I mean, yellow puss oozing is not nearly enough detail for me. LOL

I hope you feel better.

ptoalls last blog post..

I am a faithful reader of your, but don’t usually post. But, I just wanted to tell you that I am thinking about you today and that my fingers and toes are crossed that everything is ok. My gut tells me it’s just a clogged duct, so I’m going with that. I had a horrible case of mastitis with my second, and it ended up with oozing, too.

Know that you have lots of peeps out here thinking about you!

Prayers, thoughts, wishes, crossed fingers, vibes (ok, that last one sounded faintly naughty)- whichever you need, they are being sent your way…

I could get graphic on here and describe what I had coming out of my nipple post-weaning, but I’d rather tell you on the phone.

Hopefully it’s just a plugged duct!

Jamies last blog post..Stylish

You are in my thoughts and prayers that all will go well during your visit.

Shortly after I had my youngest daughter, I also had a blocked duct. Thankfully it healed by itself…but it was still scary.

Scarlet O’Karas last blog post..JoJo’s Place - 500th Post Blog Party

I was tested for “C” and ended up visiting a needle with an eighty bazillion gauge a dozen and a half times to drain the infection since it was not “C”.

I hope things turn out OK, but it’s hard not to freak the hell out. Crossing fingers, toes, and boobies for you.

Sunshines last blog post..And Now For Something Stupid Instead

I am sending you loads of good, healthy vibes!

brittanys last blog post..The Feminine Mystique

Sending the good ju-ju your way. Keep us updated!

Sending all sorts of happy and healthy Karma your way. Good thing this isn’t Facebook, because then I might have to throw some Justin at you, too, just for good measure.

Burgh Babys last blog post..Go Ahead, Tell Daddy

Thinking of you. Hoping it just needs some antibiotics and a warm compress!

anymommys last blog post..The Space Between

The C thing isn’t the end of the world - but it is a freak out instigator.

Let us know, naturally…

Until then, don’t freak until you have to. Then don’t freak. Think and react.

This coming from a chronic freakout supressor with many constant reasons to freakout.

KEEP BELIEVING

Angie@ Keep Believings last blog post..The best girlfriend……

It’s probably a good idea that a doctor sees you TODAY so the discharge can go away sooner and your boob doesn’t swell or cause you pain.

In the mean time stand in a hot shower and relax, relax, relax. Don’t read anything on wedmd. Clogged ducts suck, but not as bad as ideas that you can get from the web!

jens last blog post..random ramblings…

Oh sweetie! I hope and pray everything is okay. Please let us know!!!!!!

Thinking good thoughts. Not knowing is the scariest thing ever.

maggies minds last blog post..Not Truly Amish, Nor Friendship, Nor Just Bread

If you’re still breastfeeding (or still producing milk, anyway) and you were away from home for 4 days (for Blogher) then chances are EXCELLENT that it’s just a plugged duct, or an infection, or that you’re getting weird cream as your milk dries up (if you’ve recently weaned, esp. if you weaned while at BlogHer, which I would never judge you for because I went to St. Thomas to get away from my 2.5 year old and wean her!!).

Remain calm. I’m nearby if you need me. I can bring you medicinal zucchini bread. If you need someone to watch the kids, call me. HOG-FATT - the extra T is for tacky.

Prayers to you,
Amy

Helens last blog post..Sunday Song #1

Maybe they just think it’s mastitis (sp?), which is definitely bad, but not as BAD, but definitely in need of treatment, PRONTO.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Sending you lots of positive thoughts for the ‘least bad” answer out there.

Dawns last blog post..in the absence of Remy & Don, i bring you…

That is so scary! I hope everything turns out to be ok. I was in a similar situation about 2 years ago, and it really freaked me out when the doctor had them squeeze me in the next morning. He also had them schedule me with a breast cancer specialist. It turned out to be nothing, but they sent me into a whirlwind of fright. I hope that they are just being overly cautious and that everything is ok. Will be thinking about you.

Merediths last blog post..Over all, I do a decent job…

Will be thinking of you. Take care!!!

Nanettes last blog post..The sweet life

Yellow goo is bacteria. That’s my decidedly unprofessional opinion. But, like you, I would run off to the doctor to hear it from them and to get my antiyellowgoo pills.

Looking forward to hearing the good news in the good way you have of writing all things good. Good? Good.

Erins last blog post..Asking only workman’s wages

You are probably already at the doctors but I wanted to be sure I got my two cents in. Having had a discharge before I was told that there isn’t really the need for panic unless it’s bloody or greenish.

That said I do hope that is the case for you and I’m keeping my fingers crossed!

WMs last blog post..Control is Overrated

Ok not sure I made a heck of a lot of sense there …so summing it up to say that I hope the discharge is no cause for concern! But good for you for getting it checked out immediately!

WMs last blog post..Control is Overrated

Thinking of you with crossed fingers and toes….

Tonis last blog post..How Young Is Too Young?

The good thing in this story: your doctor’s office took your symptoms seriously and made sure you were seen right away. It’s so important to have a good physician. And, it means you don’t have to stress for a week before being seen.

The bad thing: You have to stress at all.

Thinking of you today, sending good vibes, hoping for the “all is well” report tonight.

(Isn’t it nice to know that half the internet is thinking about your boobs today? Kinda gives you the warm and fuzzies.)

Latte Mommys last blog post..Location, Location, Location

You had better be ok, because if you are not, I will personally fly to Indiana and kick the ass of whatever is wrong with you!

I’m pretty worried on your behalf, although am GLAD they are seeing you right away!

Please let us know.

This exact same thing happened to me in April. Do you know what it was? My birth control pill. Making me produce colostrum. More than two years after I stopped breast feeding.

Michelles last blog post..Open letter to Comcast

[...] My new neighborhood here in Indiana is the POLAR opposite. Everyone talks to each other (except one family and they don’t talk to anyone), we have neighborhood parties, and we all are always just, well…NEIGHBORLY. It’s exactly what I wanted in a neighborhood, down to the ability to walk next door to grab a cup of flour or have the neighbor across the street offer to take my kids when I have to go to the doctor.
