I’ve been watching Desperate Housewives, eating eggplant parmesan and sleeping on and off for 2 days. I have minimal pain now. I’ve been taking the Motrin 600 and it’s been doing the trick. The scars just pretty much hurt with some soreness in my abdomen. I stopped bleeding from the DNC a few hours after the surgery. So I think I’m officially in the clear. No sex, tampons, baths or lifting for 2 weeks. I have 2 more appointments over the next few weeks; one to get the stitches out and one for the results.
I have 3 scars; the biggest one is inside my belly button, it’s so deep I can’t see the end, which is pretty gross but I try not to think about it. There is one the right side of my pelvis about ¼ inch long, and one on the left side of my pelvis about 1 inch long. They are starting to feel tight now. I use iodine to keep them clean. All I can do is heal and relax for the rest of this vacation, which is exactly what I plan to do!
My husband has been a saint. He’s definitely seen me at my worst…numerous times. But the medical stuff is definitely hard for him. He freaked when I decided to have the surgery because he thought I would be awake like I was for the fertility tests. He knew how unpleasant it was and how freaked out I was afterwards. This time he looked at my scars no problem and actually thought they looked good. He stayed with me while I showered, held the bag when I thought I was going to puke and served me my meals in bed. I know that it’s his job as my husband and I’d do the same for him but it still makes me love him more with every kind gesture.
