WORTH IT
from my consultation they made me all comfortable. Even during the day on my surgery I wasn't worried at all because I know I'm in good hands with Dr. Pousti. He is an amazing surgeon in so glad I found him. On the other hand his assistant Daisy she's not only beautiful but very sweet lady and she's very thorough about all the things that I have to do after my surgery. After my surgery when I got home the office called me I spoke to Daisy and Dr. Pousti...just checking on me how am I feeling. And the next day Daisy called me again that was very sweet of her...

It's been 3 days and the pain isn't so much anymore.. I took some this morning and that was it. Im walking around in a hunchback position with a walker. Still walking slowly though. I can get up on my own now.. Still eating jello and soups and I passed gas but still this stools won't come out it's frustrating and Its getting uncomfortable I know it's right there ready to come out but it's not as easy than I thought. I had this problem on my last c section before I had to drank the whole bottle of mag. citrate and stay in the bathroom for 4-6 hours...this time is tougher tho... But I know eventually it'll come out sooner than later...
The other concern that I have is being emotional.. I cried I get upset to my husband thinking he isn't taking care of my child is well as much as I do.. Like not
Feeding him the right food...and I feel like he isn't supporting me much on my recovery as much as I thought he would. My stubborn brain feels like I don't any help from him that I can do this without any help from him.. My little 3 yr old is picking up things for me giving me waters and stuff like turn on/off the lights. And at night time I feel bad that I can't put him to sleep cuddle with him and I usually scratch his back.. So feeling helpless..

I didn't sleep much at all last night the gas pain and stool are pretty awful uncomfortable pain. I don't know how much stool softener I took last night because I just want to rest. But this morning after only an hour of sleep I sat in my toilet for god knows I don't know maybe 45 mins I released it all.. I was so happy very happy...
