Feeling Better

It has been exactly a week today since my D&C. Only today I felt much better. This has been the worst miscarriage experience ever. Of course there are no 'good' miscarriages experience but what I mean is only today I felt much better and it certainly has been a difficult recovering stage for me as compared to natural misccariages. The difficult part was the abdominal pain... quite like the menstrual pain but it come and go in a short while. However, during those short moment, the pain was quite unbearable. It was sharp and felt like my internal past was being squeezed and let go, squeezed and let go. Over and over again.

Today is also the second day I went for my massage session. I believe the massage has helped in reducing the pain. First, there's the sauna session... followed by 'tangas', tungku and then massage. The masseuse told me if I have abdominal pain, it could mean I still have blod clots in my body. Yikes.... And she said supposedly D&C cleared all that. Anyway, she hope the 3 day massage session will help somewhat in clearing things up for me. I hope so too. I have 4-days training next week and can't afford to double up in pain during training sessions. Thankfully I will only facilitate as my colleague takes the main trainer role.

My masseuse also higly recommend the turmeric juice. That's what I quickly did last night after I have the abdominal pain. Once it eases up, I quickly put on my rubber gloves, took 2 large pieces of turmeric and prepared it for the blender. But it was too little for the blender and did not blend properly. Anyway I still took what little juice I got from it and drank immediately. To follow the full confinement ritual is like a full time job. I wasn't as disciplined but did what I can as time permits.

Now that I'm feeling better, on to the next worry.... my assignments. Sigh! Double Sigh!

OK enough self-pity and wistful thinking. Get to work....
