a little wobbly

Vaughn is doing a little rough still after her surgery on tuesday. i assumed by this point that she would be back to normal. There is a lady at work whose grandaughter had the same surgery on the same day has become a completely different child. she is 16 mo old and had never walked...an hour after her surgery she took off and walked across the room and started talking for the first itme later that night. Vaughn on the other had seems to have forgotten how to walk. She is VERY wobbly and sometimes will stop and its like she forgets how....her movements are very slow and she has to think very hard about picking up one foot. its so strange. other things like her grasping skills seem less than they were as well. I called the doctor this evening when her sitter said she was very concerened about it as Vaughn has been acting strange there and doesnt walk much there either. We will see what they say. It worries me. I am hoping that she was just overcompensating for the balance issue before and now is readjusting but i dont know.
Vaughn has also started hitting. alot. apparently this is an issue at daycare. she has only done it at home once...last night and was the sweetest most gentle loving baby ive ever seen tonight...super cuddly and sweet. but at daycare its a different story. im not sure if she's experimenting or if she is just frustrated that she's had so many changes lately..with surgery, going to a new sitter twice last week and then back to her regular one, not feeling well.... im not sure whats causing it. im hoping its a phase that gets fixed soon.
I am ready to go to the doctor in Iowa city. I dont know what is going on but I hurt. all over. im feeling like i might have artheritis or osteoperosis or sometihng. I just hurt. all over, all the time. Mornigns are the worst, i can hardly put one foot in front of the other. my foot is so swollen by the end of the day that its all puffed out around the brace i wear. gross. definelty not attractive. im just tired of feeling like crap and ready for them to fix whatevers going on. hopefully its something simple and not something like either of the above that will be a sure life long battle with pain. grrr. if im this big of a mess at 25...whats 30 gonna be like? yikes!
