I am doing so much better, but still sore and occasionally the cramps take my breath away, but it's fewer and farther between.

What would it have hurt? I don't understand it. I was grateful for the pain meds even if they didn't knock it out completely (so I can only imagine how awful without any dulling). Recovery is going pretty well so far, and I am SO hoping that for once I fall into "uncomplicated." That would sure be nice.

But it is a sense of peace to know that that door is officially slammed shut and maybe now my body can heal and I can put that function behind me. It is definitely a conflicted, battered feeling, but I'm healing.

I did not get sedation, though, and I had two rounds of shoving sticks in my cervix, waiting for them to swell, taking said sticks out, and inserting bigger ones. This was by far the most painful reproductive procedure I have ever had in this long process, so (in my book) you deserve some kind of military-style badge for surviving those blasted seaweed rods. I am happy to read that your procedure went mostly well.
