Suffering

Holy crap, my life sucks more than I ever imagined!! So I've been on bed rest for almost a week. First due to pain, then on Friday, I realized that part of the discomfort was due to an almost week long constipation. So I very slowly drove to the pharmacy and got some laxatives. The pharmacist suggested an enema (YIKES!!), but I opted for the Miralax that you mix into your drink. That was gross. And it didn't work. On Saturday, I went back to the pharmacy for a different kind of laxative - the kind that you have to insert in your...ahem...you know. Well, that worked very well, I recommend it to anyone with a serious problem.

Now for 6 days, I've been suffering from a huge stomach syndrome. I mean it is HUGE. Even with the pain meds I haven't been comfortable since the harvest. Oy. I can't stand up straight, not quite sure why, but I blame the huge belly and it's so tight, it's not flubber, it is solid, and it won't go away!!! It's so whiny, I know, but it's my blog, so I get to whine all I want. I haven't been able to eat more than a few bites of food before feeling like death, and I can't tell if I'm nauseous or hungry. Today I was able to eat a whole slice of pizza over 30 mins - I found that if I eat super slowly, it doesn't hurt as badly.

Last night, I went to work, and it was not good. I was in pain most of the time, and finally in the second hour I became very nauseous and ended up vomiting a bit. Then I came home and had the most painful night since Wednesday. I called the clinic this morning and asked if this was ok, and apparently, according to the way I responded to the hormones, this IS normal. Cuz remember, my ovaries were the size of grapefruits and they'll get bigger before they get smaller. SOB. They asked if I had been gaining weight or if I had trouble going to the rest room, answers to both are no, and apparently, that's good. WOW. I've been on pain meds most of today and I really don't want to do this anymore. Sigh. They expect it'll be another week before my tummy goes down. WHY ME?!?!?!?!
