The Big Event happened yesterday. I woke up at about 5:45 in awful, awful pain and spent the rest of the day on the couch. I can't believe how much it feels like labor pain... but I guess, in a way, that's exactly what it is.
I was only allowed to take 1 Napralen (high dose Aleve) every 12 hours, so I hit the oxycodone left over from my c-section at about 3pm. At about 7, when I couldn't eat, couldn't walk, could barely move - I didn't even want chocolate! - I called the doctor's office. She said, in a manner of speaking, that I was high. She told me to take some phenergan if I had it (I do) and if I didn't feel better soon, I was welcome to go to the ER. Awesome.
(WHO THE HELL TAKES OXYCODONE FOR RECREATIONAL PURPOSES???)
Half an hour or so after taking the phenergan, I felt well enough to eat. I ate like thirty Ritz crackers with peanut butter and felt much better, till the "may cause drowsiness" of the phenergan hit me like whoa. I fell asleep on the couch at about 9, went to bed at 11, then woke up this morning at 8:30 after some bizarre dreams. Now, I'm hung over.
In any event, it's done. It was disgusting and painful and awful and I feel sad and empty and lonely. And still in a little bit of pain, which is just not fair. I don't know if I want to get out of the house today and put this all behind me (except the memory of my baby, which will stay with me forever) or if I want to spend just one more day on the couch. Given the level of my hangover, I will at least be spending the rest of the morning on the couch.

God be with you and bless you Stacey. Look at Ace and smile. You are blessed with a wonderful family.
Praying for you and Drew.
Love ya.
Mean it.
Mega hugs. I just...I don't know. I know how hard this is, including the physical pain.
Do you have info for healing, physically?
I guess I didn't pay close enough attention to mine. I had finally stopped bleeding about 3-4 days after, but then it started back up again. Scared the crap out of me, which is the only reason I'm sharing with you. Knowing what could happen, kwim?
Rest and do what feels best for YOU. I'm praying for ya.
Love ya!
