I called in sick today because I am still bleeding like a stuck pig, and I knew the pain would return.
As seen on Yahoo chat:
My Husband: 10:25 AM how’re you? *smooooch*
Me: 10:26 AM tired if you can believe it
Me: 10:26 AM pain is about a 2 on the scale
Me: 10:26 AM will be taking meds after i eat
Ten minutes later…
Me: 10:36 AM zenaide forgave me*
Me: 10:36 AM she’s wriggled into my lap
Me: 10:36 AM of course, just as the cramps are ratcheting up
Me: 10:36 AM *carries cat to bathroom to pop pills*
(*I had pushed my cat away from me around 10:20am, as she had tried to crawl onto the keyboard of the laptop. She was furious with me, glared at me and went to the living room and overturned something from a bookshelf, which left a gouge in the pergo flooring).
Seventeen minutes later…
Me: 10:53 AM pain ramped up
Me: 10:53 AM what was i, a 2?
My Husband: 10:53 AM aye
Me: 10:53 AM now i’m a 7.5
Me: 10:53 AM i took an entire tylenol 3 right after eating
I went on about how I should have just taken the meds as soon as I woke up. My husband just last night was telling me not to leave any gaps in the medicating, because pain has leaked through, before. I felt like I left a huge gap this morning, and was beating myself up over it.
My husband said, “but you had to eat in order to take the meds….so it’s not like you were stalling.”
He’s right, of course. I’d gone all night without meds and woke up with an empty stomach - I had to eat. I should have eaten earlier than I did. I woke up around 9am but didn’t eat til after 10am.
This morning I have tried pressure points but my legs are bruised from putting pressure on the points all weekend already. I also tried doing the large hip circle belly dance move, but it hurt like hell, as though I pulled muscles while exercising. I did a lot of hip circles and stretching Saturday night, perhaps I pulled something, or perhaps I’m just so inflamed right now in that region from the endometriosis pain, that any stretching or hip circles are going to naturally make the pain that much worse.
I tried pacing the house. That never works. I tried my breathing exercises; sometimes I swear the more I breathe, the worse the pain spreads.
Now all I can do is wait for the Tylenol 3 to kick in, and take more if necessary.
No alternative medication for me, today. No hippie dippy drug trips. Give me pain killers and lots of ‘em.
My gods, the anal pain just started up again.
WHY.
