I don't know if it's because the anaesthetic has completely worn off, or the stitches are irritating my skin, but today the pain was far worse. It wasn't too bad when I woke up but throughout the day it got really bad. I took my painkillers and baths as suggested but I can't help worrying about the stitches getting infected, perhaps I should be washing after every time I use the toilet?
Anyway I spent most of the day in bed. Walking's difficult, which I'm angry about as I planned to return to work tomorrow (Monday). Even having a bath seems too much effort, particularly as the stitches are noticeably more painful and itchy while they're drying.
I'm going to have a early night and hope I can sleep. I'm wearing pyjama bottoms but no underwear/sanitary towel as this was too sore; the area's become very sensitive. Oh well, at least I haven't lost sensitivity in my labia... I've heard this can happen! They're quite swollen at the moment, at the LL I mentioned initially is still there in all it's glory. So from the front it looks like my labia still hang down below my outer lips...at least on one side. But it's only this small bit at the front. Better than nothing?
Now it's been a few days, I can see say that 2-6 weeks seems a bit ambitious for having sex... unless things start to heal drastically. This is obviously (I hope) the worst bit, but I can't imagine being back to normal in a month. Which is extremely depressing as I'm already getting sexually frustrated. I'm in the early stages of an (luckily) long distance relationship, which is going really well. Or it was. I'm expecting a visit in 3 weeks... oh dear.
