Hospital called to do a 2 week "check in".

So I get a call from my hospital today to see how I am doing, or rather to "see how fabulous you are feeling now that you are two weeks out".  I am not feeling fabulous.  I am still on pain killers.  Every day except one since April 20th.  I have some days that are better than others, like yesterday, so as a mom of three, I end up doing something that puts me back on my butt, like today.  I helped my 5 year old with his shower last night and moved the wrong way, and "bam", I am feeling it today.  My surgeon thinks I pulled a stitch or something.  Whatever I did, I am ready for it to be healed. 

Sorry.  Just a vent.  I am tired of watching my house "fall apart" and day time TV is not a favorite of mine.  Ready to get back in the mix. 

Sorry to hear you are having a tough time.  It will get better if you can just hang on.

I pulled a stitch this week at just over 3 weeks out.  I'm stil in quite a bit of pain, but it is getting better.  Try heat on it and pain meds if you need them.  If you're still in a lot of pain you need to go see your sugeon to make sure there isn't something else going on like an infection.  I'm the mother of a toddler and have been caring for her on my own since I was 2 weeks out.  I feel your pain.  I think my recovery has been a little longer because of the lifting I have to do with her.  

I can promise you it does get better.  Don't worry about the house work.  It will be there when you feel better.  I know mine isn't going anywhere!  See if you can get a friend or family member to watch the kids for you long enough for you to relax a bit.  Make sure you're getting your protein in as well.  If you did pull a stitch it will help that area heal faster.  I upped my intake to 90g a day since pulling mine and it seems to be healing rather quickly.
