It Hurts so Bad

In spite of my medications, when the solid material comes through it hurts so bad – like labor pains. It lasts about a minute or so but they are long and painful minutes. I pray during these times and sit to one side as to not impede the passing of the clot. When it happens, I think back to when I had my son before the epidural. It is just like a labor pain.

I was just commenting to myself how I haven’t been in pain enough to blog yet but just as my thoughts of Period faded away, the pain set in and humbled me so. I really had a pretty fabulous day. The pain happened but was minimal. It was a labor pain type pain but slightly milder where I didn’t have to return home because of it. That was pretty cool. I don’t take my medicine on-schedule because I want to preserve it. It is expensive. I guess the pain meds wore off because this session of pain was a whopper! (unlike the sandwich – it’s good and tasty!)

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:
