I have a uterine infection. I am not in good shape.

James however has gotten over his jaundice and is doing very well.

Yikes for you and your infection, but good for James and his beating of the not so mellow yellows. *sends healing vibes*

I've never heard of a uterine infection before. Am I correct to guess this is a complication that some women can get after delivering?

About 3% of women get them. Because I was Group B Strep positive and had a curettage, my risk was much higher.

Group B Strep is a bacteria many of us have on our body, but it doesn't do anything under normal circumstances.

Curettage means they manually extracted my placenta.

Yes, I've read lots of fun things about the various bacteria living on us that don't do anything under normal circumstances. I read somewhere that some people even have colonies of staph virus living up their nose, and that one is a lot more serious because I think staph is one of those ones that is linked to the antibiotic resistant infection bacteria, which I think may be some sort of staph as well, irrc.

Certainly brings new meaning to when our parents tell us not to pick our noses. 'Don't pick your nose or your arm could get flesh eating disease and have to be cut off!' Eek.

I'm supposed to be in the hospital until I go 24 hours without a fever.

I hope you get better soon. I'm glad James is alright.

Glad that he is healthy and best of luck with your own matters of health.
