the end of the line

well, it's done, and i've spent the last week in hell. this shit HURTS. ALOT. more than i expected...and i'm one that has been called "a stone." i feel like i'm almost over the hump; i think (FUCKING HOPE) the drains come out tomorrow...and as YUCK feeling as i expect that to be, i don't care!

the strangest and least expected thing that's happened is, i wake up multiple times a day and think i'm 9 months pregnant. there's gas moving around in there, and it's SO tight. there's so much pressure on my abdomen. my lower back hurts, my neck hurts, i feel itchy. i remember that i'm not pregnant, and then laugh a little that i'm actually quite far on opposite side of nine months pregnant.

it kinda feels like the end of the pregnancy line, if you know what i mean. i'm there; i've arrived.

and YES, there will be pictures...but probably not soon.

Dude, you are so my hero. I want to be brave enough to lop off the leftovers.
Glad you are on the other side of the pain factor, but I hope you can manage to squeee out a few more scrips for pain, just in case...you never know, you know...

Can't wait for the pics:)
xxoo

Man, I hope there are drugs for this kinda uncomfortable. I hope (truly) you think it's worth it. I can't wait to find out.

You're my hero, too. Hang tough.

Congrats Charmy!
I'm sure I'll pick your ear for info when I'm going to do it. I'll want the gory details. LOL

I hate to sound so cheese, but GOOD FOR YOU! That's awesome!

After we lost the boys and I had the tubes burned to hell to assure me that there'd be no more dead babies, I flopped around like a dying fish. I think I want to be "on to the next phase," but I so don't want to. I should have babies.

So just who the fuck do we think we are?!? I think we're kind of awesome!

I so feel/felt your pain!

I had a tummy tuck, lipo and my boobs done six weeks ago and I'm just now finally feeling pretty much like my old self (only better!)

After birthing five living children and I was ready to move onto the next phase of my life. I'm turning 40 next year and I'm excited to be entering into my next decade with a new body and the possibility of any more children a moot point.

But damn, that tummy tuck hurt way worse than my C-section and the scar is not so great looking but I think in the end I will be pleased - hope that you are too!

Good luck and thanks for sharing!
