Title: uggg another dilating complaint thread
Post by: calico on May 28, 2013, 11:20:40 PM
Please pardon me this is kinda a rant..

This dilating routine is wearing me out! Seriously for the last couple weeks or so I have been getting 5 hours worth of sleep! :-\ :'( I get up at 5 am and do the deed, at the same time try to scarf my b-fast. then leave at 6:30 to get to work at 7 to work till 4 or 5-5:30 to get back home to do number 2 in my routine, afterward try to do what I need with what lil time before #3 at 10:30-11 which then I have to go to bed to do it all over... ugg :-\ :'(  Dilating is such an inconvenience and takes a chunk of my day away. I seriously cant wait for the first year to pass than I can cut back a bit,

And for all you McGinn chicks , IDK how ya manage doing this 5 times a day....  at just 3 times I think im going to lose it! :icon_yikes:

ok end rant!

Back in April when my 90 days @ 3X ended, I gained two hours per day for having a LIFE again.

The first 30 days of my 90 @ 2X have gone by with a little more comfort and relief.  I do really feel for the girls that are doing the 5X thing as well.  It will be over soon, there is hope, there will be no more ready excuses for not doing the housework, but going out dancing will be more available.  In turn we can gently harrass the girls who are still waiting for their dates under the OR lights.  A friend of mine recently told me that "If Dilation is really that big of a pain in the ass, you are getting the dilator in the wrong place!!"  (She is 5 years post.)

It is hard. But it's so worth it for that depth and to be able to have fun with the fellas

Just remember, it gets better!

Also, remember, try not to sneeze or cough while dilating.  But if you do, make sure no one is "down range"...

I'm on my iPad reading this while dilating right now. It runs your life for a while to be sure. I can't wait to get down to once a day. I've got about 3 months to go to get there. I think I'll have a party.

As for sleep, I get my 8 hours in and work dilation into the other 16 hours of the day. A girl's gotta sleep.

Please don't think I was aiming the rant towards you, It really is just that a rant. your post's are actually helpful whether its for someone reading them or for yourself, so please don't stop on my account. I do hope your pain gets better with time, if I was experiencing the same I am not sure how I would deal with it, especially with my hectic work schedule :-\

none taken. it's just that you seem to be going through a much tougher time than myself, so perhaps i shouldn't whine that often lol...anyway time will surely fall off the calendar and things will get better for us all  ;D
