kathygnomeWell recovery continues.
I'm mostly comfortable these days. The exceptions are if I'm wearing tight jeans, which given my weight gain is unfortunately often, or if I am sitting for a really long period. That one is sort of weird. I feel fine, but when I get up, it's like my vulva has gone to sleep and then the blood flows back in or the nerves stop being compressed or whatever and my clitoral/inner labia area flares and throbs for a little while. It's still getting better though.
The other exception is the external stitches are still there and they're starting to get itchy and I can feel general irritation where I think theyre pulling at skin when they get pulled at by my panties. Also if I apply some rubbing alcohol, I can feel pain from them, which tells me they are keeping a bit of the skin open. I'm considering clipping them, but then there are knots and I think to myself that they must be there for some good purpose. Well, one other than making me itch.
I've been bad about dilation. Doing a lot of short sessions and with all our running around for the long weekend skipping a few, but it doesn't seem to have made much of a difference. Last night I took extra time and I've started to work in the #4 (35mm). It wasn't exactly painless, but no blood or other misery, and it wasn't all that bad. I got probably 5" from it, maybe a bit more. Not quite what I get from the smaller ones which varies from 5 1/2" to 6" The only real downside is that the PC muscle is still pretty tight. I'm not sure I could have sex unless I'd dilated immediately before.
