Blast...
Just when I thought I’d hit some kind of recovery jackpot, I got hit with a dose of bad cramps today. Still not as awful as my usual period cramps, but strong and persistent enough that I can’t just ignore them. I popped 500mg of maximum strength Midol (it was the only thing I had sitting on my desk at work) and am hoping that it’ll kick in quickly. The bleeding is still all but nonexistent, which is wonderful. I’ve basically only had that kind of darkish spotting like you usually get at the very, very tippy end of a regular period where it’s only visible when you wipe.
I’m hoping the cramps won’t get much stronger than this. I’m hosting a big cocktail party tomorrow night and have a LOT of cooking to do. I’m making ten different kinds of canapes and though I’ve already started a lot of the prep work and will have help from my boyfriend, I expect to be on my feet for a substantial amount of time starting tonight until the end of the party. Fingers crossed that the ol’ bod will be able to handle it.
