Update on my D&C Recovery

So yesterday I wrote about my blighted ovum experience here.

Today marks my first full day of recovery, and holy shit did I wake up in pain.  First off, I stayed with my mom and baby sister in their apartment yesterday and most of today.  I slept on the couch as I didn't want to displace them from their rooms.  I have a love hate relationship with this couch.  I love to lounge on it, I hate to sleep on it.  It was my bed for the last 6 months of living in Washington before we moved back down here.

But I digress.  This morning when I woke up I thought I had pooh cramps, turns out it was my uterus rebelling against me.  I felt like knives were be slowly dragged across the flesh of my uterus.  I took one pain pill around 8 am (I thought the bottle said 1 every 4 hours for my vicodine).  It barely touched it.  I was doubled over in pain.  I threw up a few times.  Then I laid down in my mom's room for an hour to ease the pain.  That seemed to help.

Then I woke up again writhing in pain.  I took another pain pill then sat on the couch hunched over, trying not to puke.  My mom left and went to borrow my Grandma's heating pad to help with the horrendous pain.  After an hour of having the heating pad on me, the second vicodine FINALLY kicked in.

I was warm and fuzzy and pain free.
And still am 8 hours later.

I'm probably going to take another one before I go to bed tonight, so I can get a full nights sleep - finally.
