Day 13 & 14

13
Today I went to work all day, then went for drinks with friends and ended up going out!
This sounds like a dramatic improvement...and honestly, I think it is. Going out should have been awful, as I was on my feet for so long (in heels admittedly) and had such a late night. But it turns out alcohol is an excellent painkiller, and I've cheered up a lot now from seeing friends after being stuck inside getting bored, with only my flatmates and a few visitors to keep me company.
Since the bleeding last night, nothing like that has happened, although I've been very careful with things like sitting down etc. I've been checking for bleeding constantly, in a completely paranoid way. But nothing's gone wrong!

14
My friend has come to stay for the weekend, which could be an issue as I have less personal space and it's an extra person sharing the bathroom (I'm still taking ages having baths twice a day) but it should be fine, as I'm feeling a lot better.

I went to an art exhibition today with friends; using public transport is becoming easier and less stressful. However, after doing nothing for almost two weeks, I'm finding walking hurts my knees, and I feel exhausted constantly from doing normal tasks. I still feel a lot of itching occasionally, but I'm able to wear underwear now. I'm still wearing hold-ups rather than tights, to get as much air to the area as possible.

The stitches are still visible but the swelling/bruising has all gone completely down now. Everything looks like it did before, except the inner labia are obviously shorter and in line with the outer ones. The skin all looks healthy and there is no sign of scarring really. My period's due though, dreading that!
