6 weeks after

I had my 6 week post op appointment today, everything is healing just fine....still no sex until 8 weeks.

I changed from the patch to a gel. The patch wasn't working long enough for me, the day before and a little of the day I changed the patch I would get hot flashes. I think it would have worked better if I changed every 3 days b/c Wednesdays and Thursdays weren't all to bad but for some reason you have to change them on the same day every week and by Sunday I had hot flashes come and go all day and would last until the end of Monday....kind of like starting from the beginning. Didn't think to ask about changing every 3 days until after I left so not sure if I could.

This gel I have to put on the same time every day. I just put it on at 8, waited for the girls to go to bed so they wouldn't be all in it. It says it could take 2-7 weeks before I see any relief....great!!! The gel comes in little packets so I don't have to guess at how much to use, just open it and spread it on my thigh then wait for it to dry which isn't as long as I thought it would be. I even get a little case to put them in and $20 off my next 12 prescriptions....this stuff is going to be expensive. OY This card says I pay the first $30 and they will pay up to $20 of the rest, I'm going to have to call my insurance company and see how much this stuff is going to run....I think our copay for the real stuff is $30 so this card will do me no good and we will go broke spending $30 a week for this crap.
