"Gut feeling," that is. Just a reminder to all that as women we have been given a special gift - call it 'intuition,' 'gut feeling' - call it whatever you want, but when you get it - trust it and go with it.
Last night my 2 year old (with yucky cold of a day in a half) had a horrible night. She was breathing rapidly and struggling to get air. My gut feeling told me to take her to the ER. I didn't listen to it. I didn't want to overreact (because I'm known to at times).
Went to the Dr. first thing this morning and she was in a borderline emergency condition. Oxygen levels were low, heart rate was very high. Luckily a breathing treatment brought up her oxygen levels. Doc told me that if anything similar happens again - get her to the ER.
After a chest x-ray she was diagnosed with a pretty bad case of pneumonia. She was able to come home with us (rather than being admitted to the hospital) since her oxygen levels did come up a bit, but have to go back tomorrow for an evaluation pre-weekend to make sure she isn't getting any worse.
With that said, no matter what you are experiencing (pain from training, sickness, big decision times, whatever)...LISTEN to what your gut is telling you and trust it no matter what.
Health to all..
