Countdown to Surgery & Life after Surgery

Back to Work

Yesterday was a big day. It was my first day back to work since my surgery. Up at 6AM to dilate, out the door shortly after 8. I knew I was feeling well enough to go back to the office but I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to last the entire day. By 1:30 I was finding it uncomfortable to sit. I’d brought my donut to work, but it can only do so much. I gutted through it by getting up more frequently and by surreptitiously massaging my abdomen while at my desk. I really wanted to last for a 3-4:30 meeting. I made it through and then immediately headed home; time to dilate again! With the return to work I can now only get in three dilations a day. Luckily, my vagina didn’t tragically collapse or anything, but it did feel a bit tighter than usual. I survived work day one, but was pretty wiped out by bed time.

Today is day two. Sitting wasn’t as uncomfortable but I did have to attend two meetings so I wasn’t constantly sitting in the same chair, in the same position, in front of my computer. Tomorrow is a “regular” work day without meetings. It will be interesting to see if my comfort level is more like today or Monday.
