4th day update

[Guest guest]

Hi eveyone,

I've been basically feeling OK, I'm more worried than anything.

I've developed this very strong odor (I asked about it).

I'll call about it. I also have more burning than pain. I dread

urinating. Also when it burns I feel like my muscles contract

violently, almost like a spasm, very painful. (It;s probably similar

to vaginismus, which I never had) It's begginning to be more

localized incertain points. I still bleed a bit, I don't know how

much longer after the surgery is bleeding normal. I also don't know

how to tell if I have a broken stich. : How did you realize

it? Did it hurt much more or did you bleed a lot? The doctor

basically forbade me to look at the area, and after 's

reaction when she saw herself, I'm pretty reluctant. I saw a little

bit and my outer lips are shaved and horribly bruised. I didn't dare

to see more. I haven't had the nerve to ask my husband to see. He

almost passed out when they gave me the third IV and also, for the

first time in this ordeal, I have a certain insecurity about how my

vulva will look. I feel very emotional because, for various reasons

we'll be apart for about 6 weeks (We're moving and I'm staying behind

to finish my PhD and to finish healing). He's leaving today, a friend

will stay to take care of me for about a week. Anyway, I strayed from

the subject. My pain is bearable, I take regular tylenol, and just

about 5 pills a day. I think I'm very resistant to pain, which can

backfire, I had toe surgery and started using my toe long before it

was OK and now I'm paying for it. I learned my lesson. This is a good

advice for just operated people. Let other people to as much as

possible, don't bend down, try to move little, anticipate the

movements before you do them, sometimes I just forget and then do a

jerky movement. I have my husband even help me sit and get up. It's

better to be safe.

Well, I've said too much.

Have a nice Sunday,
