Okay, I feel kind of like a big complainer since I just posted on the Boo-Hoo forum not too long ago. But I am having another one of those days….
I’ve been feeling very sore in the last couple of weeks, the same way I felt in the weeks after my son’s birth. I didn’t think this was normal since it’s been 12 weeks since I gave birth…. The funny thing is that when I went to my postpartum checkup at 6 weeks, the nurse practitioner said everything “down there” looked fine. So I scheduled an appointment today with the actual doctor who delivered and stitched me up after my delivery. (My DS tore me in several places on the inside and out). Turns out, several of my stitches had torn and scar tissue had built up and was causing me pain. The doctor said, “Hmm, wonder why the person who saw you at your first appointment didn’t notice this. It’s obviously been this way for awhile.” So thanks nurse practitioner. Oh well. Anyway, I ended up having to have “reconstructive surgery” today and am now practically immobile for the next week or two.
So I can’t move around without being in pain, my baby and I have thrush that we can’t seem to get rid of, and we still don’t have a good treatment for the reflux. (Our ped. wants to wait until the thrush clears up to start a new treatment for the reflux). It’s just too much at once! Fortunately, my mom took the day off of work tomorrow to help me out and then it’s a three day weekend so my DH will be home. But I’m just feeling a little overwhelmed right now. I’ve already started feeling helpless when my baby has been crying and I can’t get up to walk him around and soothe him.
Okay, that’s enough for now. Thanks for listening!
