Cegirls Report post Posted March 18, 2004 I have to assign 900 tickets to David Bowie today, so I had to go in. =P Sucks here, but y'all could have guessed that. Heh! Pain is making me vulgar, and when my boss asked me why I'm going so slowly today and seem distracted, I said, "Because my vagina is dialating." *grunt* Only 700 more tickets to go... *snort!* hahahahahahahahaha!!! THAT is funny! i think i will laugh everytime i think about *that* tonight! LOL maybe you could leave early? and, i hope you have some good pain killers waiting for you at home... and this - If you don't let your body rest and recover, you risk being on an endless merry-go-round of physical ailments. Sometimes we have to listen to our bodies and change our plans accordingly. Nothing is set in stone. All plans and commitments can be changed in the face of an emergency situation. Sorry if I sound preachy, but I've done this to myself before, too, and suffered the consequences. Also, I'm a massage therapist, and so I see on a daily basis in my clients the results of people trying to push their bodies too far. If you begin to rest a bit more and maybe institute some self-care practices (if you don't already), I suspect it may help your insomnia as well. Hope the procedure goes smoothly. I'll be sending you some good energy (hope that doesn't sound too New Age-y ). is SAGE advice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chai_girl Report post Posted March 18, 2004 (purposefully taken out of context) I think most of us would have said "Fuck David Bowie!!" and stayed in bed moaning Hmmm...I remember a time when that actually might have been the case...

twistygirl Report post Posted March 18, 2004 First and foremost, Beth, you take care of yourself and don't put a single thought in your head about delaying emails, shipments, whatever. Your health is the important thing. There are few things more painful/annoying than girly troubles . I hope that for your sake the doctor at least had the good sense to prescribe you something to take the chill off the pain, like Percocet or (at the very least) Vicodin.

magpiedee Report post Posted March 19, 2004 Oh, yeargh, just reading this post makes me ache in empathy! You poor darling! If we could all divide up the pain and take 1/50th of a giner dilation for you, rest assured that we would! Nothing below the belt is ever fun when it involves paper gowns and speculums. I hope it went okay for you, and wasn't too painful, and that you do something lovely and selfish tonight to help you feel better, whether it's of the pizza, ice cream, new lip balm sort or the sadistic and alcoholic sort. Here's a kegel of support! Nuugh! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shriekingviolet Report post Posted March 19, 2004 ahhh count me in on those sympathy kegel contractions. You poor thing! I can't believe they didn't give you anything for pain!!! Makes me appreciate my parents more, if I were in your position and the doctor didn't give me anything, they'd scrounge some up themselves. I sprained my ankle my first year of college and my mother express shipped a bottle of darvoset the next morning! Feel better sweetheart! Ah and I think the few guys on the board that they're already in for high estrogen exposure on this forum. They're smart enough to look the other way.

sirensongsouth Report post Posted March 19, 2004 I hope your procedure goes well tomorrow, and that you recover quickly. Its no fun. Having had a kid I can testify that dilation doesn't feel good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lars Thorson Report post Posted March 19, 2004 (edited) Hang in there Elizabeth. And take all the time you need to recuperate. As for TMI and over-exposure to estrogen, I've dealt with far worse by choice. It's amazing what you hear at parties if you spend most of your time giving backrubs...

faerowan Report post Posted March 19, 2004 (edited) Feel better. I apologize for being so worried baout my order. I'm terrible...I should be caring more about you. Remember, resting and breathing will help a lot. Edited March 19, 2004 by faerowan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vitawash24 Report post Posted March 19, 2004 Oh, Elizabeth! Please take care of yourself! Girl problems are the absolute worst, I swear. (Well, maybe second worst, gastrointestinal's probably worse, but still...) Please don't worry about delays if it will help you get better. I hope you'll be feeling better soon.

Sistinas Report post Posted March 19, 2004 late comer to the thread. Hope you will be feeling better soon. Try to get some rest and take care of yourself. Sending you some healthy vibes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RosieP Report post Posted March 19, 2004 I'm so sorry to hear you're not well ... and sorry for pestering about my package! The most importnat thing is your health, so don't worry about responding to e-mails, etc - take some time for yourself. The dilation thing sounds horrible - I've had two kids but neither were induced, so I didn't have the drugs to start dilation. You could try rubbing your tum with a Wiccy Magic Muscles bar from Lush which is quite good for cramps ... (smells a little like Tiger Balm but seems to work.) Have another big hug Take care, Rosie XXX Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kebechet Report post Posted March 19, 2004 Rosie, it just so happens that I have a Wiccy that I haven't even opened yet. =) Thanks for the suggestion! I just got back from the doctor's. This hurts like a MOTHERFUCKER so I'm going to lie down for a bit til I get back to work. 6 Tylenols should do the trick. =P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

feycat Report post Posted March 21, 2004 I know I'm a tad late posting (read: extremely late), but my hubby has been hording the computer and I haven't been able to get online. Damn techno-geeks! Hoping everything works out, sweetie. You have been going through so much crap lately, I just wish there was something I could do. Try to take it easy. I'm sending you positive vibes and lots of hugs. Oh and rasberry leaf and vitex tea is a great idea. It really helped me with the pain and cramping. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scylla Report post Posted March 21, 2004 Ow, ow, ow!!! I feel your pain. I had an IUD inserted last May and although I have had children (although by c-section) the dilation and IUD insertion still hurt like hell!!! Hope you're feeling better soon, and that the IUD will work out better for you. I love not having to take a pill every day. Laurin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
