Thankyou!!! I have finally got my laptop back and can come in a reply, after being on my phone which is very painful to read let alone post!
I am still having trouble getting out of bed, DH is having to help me, and overnight I am spending a bit of time in my BF'ing chair (recliner with stool) as it is more comfortable then getting in and out of bed for DD2 one or two extra times a night.
Yesterday was a bit better today, but I feel as though I have gone backwards today in the pain department, I am still on the Capadex and a lower dose of Voltaren, my scar looks ok, there is no new weeping so I don't think there is an infection and I am keeping the meds up, the pain isn't worth it Thanks star
Thanks Just Me, I started taking short and slow walks down the corridor so I was more prepared when I got home as our house isn't particularly small and it also is two story. The stairs are fine going down, more painful going up, but they are improving.
Thanks MD, that is exactly where my biggest issue is, I have been feeding DD2 at 4-5am-ish and having a dose of meds then and after that feed getting back into bed so that when I get up in the morning they are at the peak but not really helping much But DH is getting u then and is able to help me. Hopefully I see improvement soon.
I got the MW's to go through it again and also spoke with the OB, and I was doing it "right" way and they said yeah and that I shouldn't be experiencing pain...
Thanks MG I have been sleeping on my side, but wondering if I should pile up the pillows and elevate my top half and my legs, so that I don't have to get up from being flat and my legs being elevated reduces pressure, it was how I had the bed set up in the hospital and was the most comfortable.
This afternoon I have been gets waves of pain coming through, it is like a stinging but with all the nerves and stuff that have been cut it is probably just them "waking up" don't know really.
The wheat bag is providing relief so it is getting a work out, and resting a lot.
I hope your recovery is improving Vixstar
Hopefully things will improve more over the next week or two, DH has two weeks off from now so I am hoping that I will be feeling a lot better when he does go back to work.
