Proud of myself

[KatieG07]

So It has been 1 week today since my procedure. Wow it’s already been that long. It’s flying by. I was struggling my first few days home post procedure. I was dilating too much way over the 2 hrs causing pain and stress on my body. I did post about this and some of you might of seen my post on the questions page asking for advice from others. Well the past 2 days I did my 2 hrs ago am 1 hr and pm 1hr sleeping every other day. Wow pain and stress on my body subsided! ( I still get the I need to pee feeling from time to time but I know that will go away once I’m
Fully adjusted.

So why is this titled proud of myself? No We have not had sex yet (I wish) Well I knew those 2 days at Dr. Paciks I could dialate up a 5 I did in the office. Yet trying to quick after set backs didn’t work. Tonight I was calm relaxed and decided to do an hr and 1/2 with 4 glass and see where in am towards my 2 hrs. Well I had a 1/2 hr left and I thought I’ll try 5 if it doent go in them I’m not ready. I tried 5 glass nope I hit a brick and yet I got that in last week when I was advancing to quick! So I lubed (a ton licodine and slippery stuff) up the 5 silicon and magically it slid in as good as a 3 or 4. Yes I had pain (no anxiety) but I was in the bedroom laying on the bed in shock for 2 minutes. I started crying too. I then waked out carefully bc we all know how hard it is to walk with a silicon dilator in. I look at my husband with a smile and he knew something happened in that bedroom. I told him I got 5 silicon in and he was smiling and so happy for me!

Now my goal is once I feel comfy and less pain I want to advance longer jump to feeling comfortable getting the glass 5 in. I knew I had it in me and knew it was going to take some time. I couldn’t be more happier for myself. I can’t wait to get so comfy with 5 after a few weeks and write again about having sex with my husband! Happy Monday this was a big step for me & a great way to end my Monday 🙂

Advice to new girls who are just dialating slow and steady, don’t stress and please do not over dialate 2 hrs is all we need and sleep every other night or every 2 nights and you will become more In tune with your body!
