ohhhh Kallie you poor dear! Gosh if it's not one thing, it's another
huh? I'm so so sorry! I didn't even know ovaries could DO that. There
isn't something that can be done? Painkillers my friend, LOTS of
painkillers (ok not TOO many!) I hope your body starts healing soon. I
hope your heart starts healing soon!
Heading back into work sounds as though it is overwhelming to you. I
imagine that having to explain things over and over or just to face
people who know will be sort of like having to relive everything all
over again. You weren't supposed to have to face pity as part of a
pregnancy! But you CAN make it through this - one more hurdle and I know
you're up to it. As an idea, would it be more manageable to you if you
did a half day your first day back? Then you could just keep telling
yourself to make it through the next few hours. I imagine that the
first day back is the hard bit, every day after that will be easier.
Conversely, if you are in that much pain - in your abdomen and also
still in your heart - it might be good for you to stay home, rest, and
heal for a bit. Maybe you still need a few days to take care of
yourself!
Know that we love you and that you can do it! We'll help! :)
Take care okay? let me know what's up. I'm always around online
somewhere....
