I use to have so a low tolerance for pain. I now think of it as a mind over matter thing. This was my 5th operation. I have had 3 c secs and my gallbladder removed. So far the band is similar but because I am ann old pro I can handle it better. The hardest part is nusring my baby. If I nurse him laying on my right side it is ok. However, lying on my left side puts pressure on my port. If I nurse him on my lap its not so bad either because I put a pillow there. I mean it's manageble...but what to do the boy has to eat.

 

The first night home I slep in my bed with him. Last night we slept on the floor of the play room because I was afraid he would wake up and fall out of the bed because I couldnt move fast enough to get him. Actually I nursed him on the floor then I slept in the recliner.

 

My dh asked me this morning, "when can we do it?". I said do what trying to play dumb cuz I truely thought it was insensitive and how could he be thinking about something like that while i'm in pain. I handle my pain well but maybe I should be more dramatic around him.
