I decided to take today off work, though I have been able to actually work from home today. The last two days I've zonked out after taking my narcotic painkiller, so I decided I'd take today off in case the same thing happened.
I woke up early in the morning, extremely crampy again. I zapped on my second heating pad and curled up so both pads cushioned my back and my abs. Took my narcotic painkiller then instead of later in the day, and woke up around 11 AM feeling better.
Took my last antibiotic today. I detest antibiotics, but I'm still shocked that my doseage is already done. I took six pills in total, two a day, starting the night of my abortion.
I've been trying to observe discernible changes in my body. My belly has gone down enough that I briefly wore jeans yesterday, though I did have to unzip them after eating. Still, an improvement.
My breasts are extremely firm and more full than normal. Awesome, but... Much to my horror last night, I saw that they are leaking breast milk. I had read that this was a possible side effect, particularly if you were further into your pregnancy. The health information I've found online explains to avoid stimulating breasts and wear a tight-fitting bra. Fortunately, I'm not in pain, as apparently some women find their breasts even more tender (Mine were tender about a month ago, but that sensation went away.), so that's good.
I have a lot of things to write about that I haven't yet. A lot of these things delve much more into feelings and experiences than the mundane but necessary details of physical improvement. I haven't quite been up to writing about them yet, maybe mainly because I've felt so exhausted these last few days. But I plan to spend some time writing about them later today and in the coming days.
For now, I am going to put jeans on again and get a late lunch with my boyfriend.
