Ha!

Quote from: Jenn104 on August 24, 2024, 07:43:40 AMIf I have anxiety its more about the after care than the procedure.

I felt like I'm been hit by a semi, but hour by hour, I grew stronger. You will too. My biggest challenge was peeing, but the need grew and grew and grew and though it hurt, the dam eventually broke. Is dilating going to be part of your aftercare?

Yes! dilation is in my future, although not until after labor day. I go back after discharge for unpacking and dilation lessons. Until then, I waddle.

I dilated regularly the first few months, but for decades, I do it every other day for ten seconds in the shower. If it works like that for you, it's no biggie after the first few months.

Well

I had a fine day. My last full day home for a bit. I am headed into town, to a hotel, tomorrow.

I got my yoga on early today. I've been blessed with that community. They aren't the best friends but they care. deeply. A few of the regulars dawdled after class to give me a hug and wish me well. I really appreciated the moment.

The cycling chat was ummm wildly inappropriate and insanely funny. "How much vagina slang can we sling?" kind of sums it up. I walked up to the shop and got me a few hugs.

The apartment is clean. I am packed. I need to change my sheets and do a few other little house keeping-y things. I am ready. I feel ready anyway.

Good luck, Jenn!

We will be here when you get back. Update us when you feel up to it.

Hugs!

Good luck Jenn, 
  Before you know it it's recovery and the rest of your life not having to tuck. Dilation is no big deal, just finding the time. I find it very affirming.

Thank you both.

I am killing time washing my sheets, making the bed and puttering about. I'll grab a train in mid-day. When it comes down to it I've realized I am going to be asleep for the biggest part of my week.

Good luck Jenn!

Best wishes dear XX

Off she goes into the wild, black yonder. I wrote "black" because that's what I remember, being in a black place when I first semi-awoke. People were talking and I mostly moaned in response, then slipped even deeper into the blackness.

O&C - you remind me of the Neil Young lyric-- 'when you're out of the blue and into the black', except maybe we could use "pink" instead of black? I dunno.

Wishing you all the best, Jenn!

Surgery went well. I am mostly sleeping. a little nauseous from meds.

I am a girl

Jennifer

Happy re-birth day! Glad to hear everything is going well so far. Let the staff know about the nausea, they can fix it quickly. Rest is good, but they'll want you walking around in a few days. Don't push yourself.

Love always -- Jessica Rose
