For the ladies....
For real.... everything pretty much stopped, BUT I cannot go without a panty liner OR ELSE...
I am trying really hard to get in all my required stuffs (and pretty much not succeeding), and this thing started before I was a week out BEFORE I could even comfortably wipe myself (which I didn't know about btw).
You just can't bend the way you need to in order to get yourself clean....without it hurting. Now I can do it just fine, but while I was just post-op I was REALLY tempted to call in the husband or mother to help. HOWEVER, I am a stubborn ass and did it MYSELF, DANG IT!
and I think I had a pretty good go of it. I was off the drugs at like 3 or 4 days post-op and back to work the next week. Surgery on a Wednesday, back to work the following Friday (could have gone back Thursday, but hung out with Mom while she was here). I do admit though, getting in the fluids is no JOKE, I still can't do it.
