11 days OUT! feeling a little blue

Mar 21, 2010

So... its been a few days since I've blogged.  I've not been feeling as well as I was in the beginning.  I keep having this SUPER sucky pain in my lower left abdomen.  It literally feels like someone buried a hot burning coal in my side and I cannot get it out.  I called the doctor's office, after my husband made me.  They say its normal, which Im glad... but it SUCKS!  I always considered myself a really strong person.  Someone who didnt let anything...let alone a little surgery get me down.  I've had broken bones out the behind...two c-sections, one of which I gave birth to TWINS... and never let them get me down.  I didnt with this at first either, I was up right away, and walking the halls like a mad woman at the hospital.  I've always been under the impression that MOVING made the pain get better faster.  Now... Im not so sure.  This whole burning thing started last Thursday night, I didnt let it stop me though.  Friday I went out with my Mom shopping for most of the day, just walking through the stores basically.... Saturday morning it was killing me but I got up and got dressed and went to my 5 year olds soccer game... but thats when it started getting WORSE!  I had to sit in the car for most of the soccer game because it hurt so bad to walk that I almost hit my knees.  Finally I got up the nerve to walk out to the field..which is about 400 ft...and by the time I got there I was sweating and crying it burned so bad.  My hubby had to walk me back to the car!!! THIS IS NOT ME!!  Im the girl who walked around Washington DC for a week with a broken leg because I REFUSED TO miss the trip!  WHAT THE F??  I even broke into the pain meds they sent me home with but they dont even touch it.  The only thing that makes it better is if I do not move.... AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   I have three kids at home...and while I have a wonderful husband who is doing a GREAT job taking care of them they want Mommy!  Its all I can do to get up and down from the couch to go to the bathroom, and I find myself trying to hold it so I dont have to do that!!!  THIS BLOWS!!!
So...yeah... Im trying to find that rainbow at the end of the tunnel outlook...but today it seems like a long way to the end of the tunnel!  I've tried everything I know to help it, but the nurse at my surgeons office just called it DEEP MUSCLE PAIN.  I've tried heat, I've tried stretching... I've tried moving... I've tried everything I know to help MUSCLE PAIN and it doesnt help!  So... Ive decided to give a few days of rest... and see if that helps!
