How are you doing after surgery?

Up until yesterday and today I was doing really well. Surgery was tough. I had severe pain during the operation and it was horrible. My DH said at one point my eyes glazed over and he honestly thought I had died. The only way he knew I was ok was that the monitors were going and he heard my heartbeat.

Well....

Here's what I posted in the Post Partum thread. I feel so bad for not being here more and welcoming the new babies but I don't know where the day goes!

Hi everyone. I keep meaning to post but time is short! Post Partum has been a bit tough. I'm feeling good but we're having a few problems. I'm having trouble with Gage's latch and have bleeding nipples since Thursday. Now I also have cracks. It hurts like hell to say the least. Since he's either sleeping or nursing, they aren't getting a chance to heal.

Poor Gage is not a happy baby. As I mentioned he's either sleeping or nursing. Anything in between involves constant screaming. He's never awake and content. It makes me so sad. The worst is night time, he just cries and cries. DH has slept with him on his chest for the last couple of nights, it's the only way we get sleep.

My 2 year old has a bad cold. On top of a difficult adjustment for him, he's sick.

My incision was bleeding so I went to the doctor this morning. She said something about a blood clot underneath ? and had to open it back up. Thankfully it's not infected but she had to clean it out (only the last couple of inches) and pack it. I'm on antibiotics and have to go back again tomorrow to have it all done again. She said we should know by now how often I'll have to do it, if it's a lot they'll get me home health care.

DH told me I'm doing too much and I admit I have been. I've been feeling so good so I'm doing a lot. Not because I have to, my mom and Jim are doing it all, but because I want to. I'm up and down the stairs a lot, but DH has said enough. He was going to go back to work Wednesday but he's taking at least another few days. He doesn't want me overdoing it.

I'm still in good spirits, I get my down moments but I have so much support here at home that it helps a lot.

Hopefully now that I'm going to be resting more I'll have more computer time and can catch up.

We're off to take Gage to the Ped and Holden too so they can check his cough.
