...I feel like a broken record.

 Before I launch into my latest health-related woe, have a look at what I finished last night;

I made a bunch of these tiny luna moth pins.  They're very cute & wee.  I put them up on Etsy already. 

So here's what's going on; I think something's gone wrong with my surgery.  I didn't really notice until yesterday, because that was the first day I tried to go without meds, but I'm in way too much pain considering how much time has passed since the procedure.  I had it last Friday (six days ago, now) & the pain is actually getting worse instead of better.   Also, I'm very bloated.  Also, there's a lot of really dark bruising.  He did remark on the bruising yesterday.  After I got home & finally broke down & took the darvo (remember?), it only helped for a little while & then the pain came back even worse overnight.

I called the doc's office...it figures he's in surgery all day, so the soonest they can see me is tomorrow morning.  Until then I'm taking the rest of the darvocet & sleeping, & hoping it doesn't get any worse.  If it does I'm just going to the ER, because at this point I'm starting to get scared. 

EDIT...Okay, I really didn't mean to make anyone worry.  :-)  The thing is I KNOW if I go to the ER they'll laugh at me.  I don't have a fever, my gums are pink, my tummy is swollen but not hard (just puffy)...so it doesn't seem to be an infection or internal bleeding.  I fear it's more like nerve damage or maybe some small damage that's not catastrophic but definitely needs to be checked.  So, tomorrow I'll get an exam & maybe a sonogram & then I'll have a better idea of what's happening.  In the meantime, pain meds (I hope they last).  Kris, thanks for calling hon.  Nancy, I love you DO NOT CALL MOM!  She'll just freak out & I don't want her to freak out (she makes things worse).

Umm...I sold a wolf on Etsy.  THAT's good news, right?  :-)

What Kls-Elois said--I'd call them back, because it could be serious. Bloating and bruising could mean internal bleeding, and if so they'll need to do something asap. Better to have it checked out promptly.
