So, today we had our checks at the doctors.
First up was me. My doctor is amazing and I think she is great, I even told her so. She just makes me feel at ease and that I could talk to her about anything, which is a good thing seeing as that is what she is there for.
I got up on the table and she had a look at the damage. My L shaped tear is very red raw but is healing. She also found another tear, which I didn't know about, at the bottom end that goes up inside. My tears aren't sore on a day to day basis but I wouldn't go prodding them. She said she had assumed I hadn't resumed my sex life yet as it was all looking rather sore. She said sex should be a no, no, unless I wanted to be put off for life. I said I would let my husband know that as he is getting a bit restless.
Unfortuantely due to my tears, she is unable to examine my bladder fully but did say she would phone the physiotherapist to give me a referal so that it can be looked at there too. It is nice to be getting all this help and I should soon be back to normal down there.
I was told to come back in 6 weeks time and was also reminded that it is still early days and the fact that I am so active with 2 children will slow down the healing process. Also the fact that I didn't have that 1 stitch has also slowed down the healing time. If I had known that at hospital I would of had the damn stitch. Live and learn I suppose.
She asked me a few other questions about boobs and contraception and then she moved on to Leo.
As he was weighed yesterday she didn't do it again and I asked about doing his length and she said that it isn't done unless there appears to be a problem. Boo!
The lump in his hand caused by the cannula at hospital has gone down and will disappear altogether over time.
She checked him over and then we moved on to see the nurse for his jabs. The nurse scared me to death by saying that if he has an allergic reaction then it is an emergency situation and that I should get back to the surgery if close by, but if not I should call 999. Then I was told about the red lump and sore legs and to treat it with a cold flannel, also he could get a temperature etc and to treat with Calpol. After all that I didn't want him to have the jabs.
Leo was chewing on his hand, quite happy when the first one went in. The nurse did it quickly and Leo didn't even notice. He swiftly moved on to leg and injection number 2 saying this one stings a bit more. He wasn't kidding as Leo let out a high pitched scream, went red and did the cry where they stop breathing for a bit. I was upset too but held it together for my baby.
I got him home as soon as I could and he was soon kicking away at his toys in his chair.
I went shopping today and bought a few bits for Leo for in the future. The winter coat, I think, will be too big for him but I liked it and it was half price.
Off to check on my little Angels before watching some rubbish then bed.
