Saw my doc and he's going to fix my pain med situation so I'll be more comfortable. He said my surgery was very challenging because the slipped vertebra had slipped to grade 4, rather than a 2 like it was before, and the nerve was really trapped in there badly. We are really happy I'm not having any pain in my legs. It means he did a really good job of freeing up the nerves.
I'm hoping the OB nurse will come back and let us hear the heartbeat again. I can't really move, but I'm pretty sure I haven't had any spotting and am feeling pretty confident baby is okay. I am so grateful to God and to everyone who's been praying and thinking of us.
Really not sure what is going on w/DH. Wouldn't hug or kiss me before surgery, though he did hold my hand for a bit when we were waiting for them to straighten out the pain meds yesterday and I was unmedicated completely for over an hour. It really helped me to stay calm and relax. I was so worried I'd lose the baby from being in so much pain and tensing up so much. So in a way, he's being supportive, but he's not being my lover. I told him I really can't handle talking about things until the pain is under control. I'm going to call his mom sometime today and ask her what she thinks I should do and see if she got anything out of him or into him the other night when they talked. Years ago I dated a Mexican guy and we had all sorts of cross-cultural differences we had to work out...I feel like that may be part of what's going on, too. We grew up in very different places and apparently have very different views on a lot of things. A few times in our marriage one of us has brought up seeking counseling, and I am all for that. When it came down to it, though, he'd never go through with it. I really think it would be helpful.
