The physical toll

No one thinks about the physical toll raising three babies takes on a person. Newest development is chostochonditis- an inflammation of the cartilage the connects the breast bone and the ribs. Feels like I'm having a heart attack all day. It's caused by post pregnancy hormones in combination with constant lifting, bending, and moving. So now I have three months worth of pain meds, that yes... Make me drowsy. Hah! Well I don't know what could be more challenging than the sleep deprivation and feeling like a load of bricks on my chest but I know God gives me strength. I'm truly rising to the occasion.
