Now I can start to heal.

My D&C was yesterday.  It was hard for me emotionally.  We got to the hospital around 7:00am and was in the prep room by 7:15.  They came in and talked with me and started my IV.  Tim got to stay with me during that whole time, and I napped against his shoulder on and off for around an hour.  At about 8:30 my Doctor came in and described to us what he was going to do (I won't get into that here).  At 8:45 I was kissing Tim goodbye and walking into the OR.  I can remember walking in and getting on the operating table, them placing the heart monitors on my chest and strapping me to the table.  At that point on of the Doctors said they were going to give me something to help me relax in my IV.  The next thing I knew, I was waking up in recovery.  The nurse came right in and talked with me.  They were giving me Pitocin through the IV to help my uterus contract and stop the bleeding, so it was very painful.  She gave me a shot of something in the IV and off I went to La La land again.  The second time I woke up I started asking where Tim was.  I had been told before that he could be in there with me and now I was being told he couldn't.  I LOST IT!  I really really lost it.  I started crying hysterically.  So after a couple of minutes of that, they broke the rules and let him come in with me.   They kept me in recovery for about another hour, most of which I slept holding Tim's hand.  Then they moved us to post-recovery.  In post-recovery, I had to sit up, there were no beds, just chairs.  But I was finally able to eat and drink a little.  We were in there for almost 2 hours while waiting on my Rhogam shot.  All I wanted to do was go home.  Once I got my shot, off we went.  I napped on and off during the car ride home and for the rest of the day.

I am still sleepy today, but have managed to make myself stay up.  I am still on some pain medication for the cramping, which can get pretty intense at times.

I am thankful that the procedure was done and now I can truly start to heal.  My 2 little angels where with me yesterday during the surgery, I felt their presence.  I also had a huge network of friends and family praying for me that day.  I am so grateful for all the support I have received from my FB family.  I don't know what I would have done with out some of you.  Tricia, you have been amazing to me.  Kayleigh, I don't know what I would have done with out you.  I love you both more than I could every explain.
