Day 3 - Healing and Hospital Visit (moved from family blog)

Well today was interesting. I was at a friend's daughter's 1 yr old party which was lots of fun. then about 45 min in, I started doubling over in pain from cramps and low back pain. Since most of the other guests didn't know about the miscarriage, I was trying to hide it. It got to the point where I had to leave early and have my friend drive us home since Robert was at home and we only have one car. I went home and laid down on top of a heating pad to see if that would help. 3 hours later the pain was still excruciating (it felt as painful as labor pains) with no sign of stopping anytime soon. I called the nurse on call at my ob/gyn and she told me that since the pain was so severe I needed to go to the ER. We didn't want to bring the girls with us to the ER because we didn't know how long it would take and I didn't want them seeing me in that much pain.

We were able to get in super fast, within 15-30 min. They did an exam and found out that some lady stuff was stuck unable to come out the way it normally does each month. They weren't able to remove it so they admitted me and scheduled me for a d&c. They gave me some pain meds which kinda helped. The procedure was successful and now just resting using the hospital wifi. I LOVE that they have wifi! I should be discharged in the morning. Hopefully I'll be able to sleep. So not tired right now!

One of my best friends brought me a sandwich, applesauce and sorbet - YAY friends! Robert brought the girls to visit, The girls just left the hospital about an hour ago and apparently on the way home Robert said that as soon as they got home, they were going to go straight to bed because it is super late. Chloe said, "no late, it's rude to be late." We are teaching the girls that it is rude to be late. I thought you would enjoy that little misinterpretation of which meaning of the word Robert was using.
