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.

Instead, individuals allow menstrual blood to flow naturally and stain clothing or other surfaces.  It’s often associated with rejecting societal taboos around menstruation, promoting body positivity, or advocating for environmental sustainability by avoiding disposable products.
