Close Enough

I cannot get this heating pad close enough to my uterus and cervix. If I could roll it up and shove it up there, I would do it. I hurt and if I even sit up on the side of the bed, the pain will intensify into those hard labor pains again and I won’t allow that to happen. If I can help it I will. I don’t want to take more meds right now because I try to take the least amount so that I am not asleep all day.

I noticed no one in my household cares but me that  I hurt so bad. The children shrugged it off and I still intend to go rummaging with mom – if she even goes. So I guess I don’t care about the pain either as long as I don’t have to feel it.

The pain is even interfering with my viewing of the morning news with TJ Holmes on CNN. His smiling face and the soothing words of the president are helpful. I like to keep up with news items however those soothing smooth voices are lulling me into a relaxed state. The thing about sleep is that I don’t feel the pain in my sleep PTL but if I go to sleep I will miss the news program. And the phone keeps ringing. Arrrgh.

Some of the women said they have to empty it several times a day but when you compare that to using 32 tampons in two hours it is a better deal. (Yes, one woman in the thread had that as an issue and I can identify.) Article links: No Hysterectomies for Heavy Periods MensesEdu I'm reading some of this information now and in developing countries young girls and women may not have an eco-friendly alternative to sanitary pads. They are using cloths that are laundered--probably by hand--and then reused. Where would all of those women put used sanitary products? In a land field? I dunno. I'll keep reading...but one woman commented on the Mooncup facebook page that the

The pain is bearable but...

...it is unpleasant. I've already had two ibuprofen today. The pain actually started yesterday but went away. It started in enough time to prevent me from attending a school board meeting and put me to sleep through most of it until an hour before the end. I listened to the remainder on the school district radio station. Blimey. Anyhoo, here is an older video of me bleaching my hair:
