Chapter 60 - Side effects

(Levar Point of View)

When I wake up, I feel weak and I am sweating a lot. My stomach hurts a lot. I roll onto my side as I hold my stomach. I hear some moving around. I look up and I see Asaka.

"Darling. You are awake. Good. Here, drink this." She puts a cup up to my lips and I drink it. "That should help with the pain. I have moved you back into your room and everything is set up. I can get you a heating pad for your stomach, I will be making sure you drink a lot of water and I can turn a fan on for your sweating. You will have doctor apartments often to make sure everything is good. Nothing was damaged in the process so you will be fine but I want to make sure nothing will change so you will. It should take you about 3 to 4 weeks to heal. I will do whatever I can to make sure you heal faster."

I smile up at her. I am so glad that I have her. She is willing to do so much for me. I do think I do really love her. She has done so much for me already. "Thank you."

"Of course baby. Now do you want me to do that?"

"Yes, you can."

I watch her get up. She gets everything around for me. I slowly sit up on my bed. I use some pillows to keep me up. I feel weak so I would just like the extra support. I did expect the pain to be worse but it still hurts. It is getting better which is good. When she comes back, I smile at her. She walks up to me and gives me a kiss. She puts the heating pad on my stomach. 

"Here is your water, everything else is set up for you."

"Thank you, babe."

"Of course. Do you want to watch a movie now?"

"Yes, I do. What are we going to watch?"

"We are going to watch a childhood movie of mine. After all, we have watched yours so I want you to watch one of mine."

I nod my head slightly as she sits down in the bed with me. I lean up against her. She puts on something called, "Spongebob Squarepants". It doesn't look like Radovedni Taček but I guess it seems like a kids' show. It is animated after all but then again, not everything that is animated is not for kids so I will see. Before she plays the show, she grabs a bag that was beside the bed. She puts the bag on the bed and takes out some snacks and some bottled water. She sets everything out.

"Are you ready darling?"

I look over at her. "I think I am. This is new to me so I don't know how to feel about the show but I know I like the snacks and the heating pad is helping a lot."

She smiles at me. "I'm glad."

I lean on her slightly as we watch the show. I'm not sweating as much which is good but I can't sleep. The pain is keeping me up. The show looks interesting and it does look like a kids' show but there are several things I wouldn't want my kids watching. There seem to be a lot of violent scenes but that could just be because I didn't grow up with this.

After the movie, Asaka looks down at me.

"I'm surprised you're not asleep darling."

"I can't. The pain is keeping me up."

"That's not good. I thought the medicine would help."

"It did but when I go to move any part of my stomach it hurts but I think that might be because of where I was cut open."

"Is the heating pad helping at least?"

"It was but it's not hot anymore."

"How about I warm it up while you have more water to drink, alright?"

I nod my head. She takes the heating pad and the empty water bottles. I drink the rest of my water bottle. I head into the bathroom as I have to go. I can't poop even though I need to. I wonder why. Once I am done, I wash my hands and head into the bedroom. I see Asaka sitting down on the bed. I sit down next to her. She puts the heating pad on my stomach and hands me a bottle.

"Hi, darling. There is something we should talk about."

"What is it?"

"The side effects of this. I have been researching the side effects of a hysterectomy."

"What did you find?"

"Well other than the obvious of not being able to become pregnant and the end of your periods there is an infection, bleeding, damage to the colon or urinary tract, blood clots, anesthesia-related complications with the lungs or heart, nerve, or tissue damage, bowel obstruction or constipation, insomnia, vaginal dryness, weak, pain, sweating or night sweats, sexually problems, hot flashes, mood swings, and scaring."

Wow, she really did do her research. It is good that she did so I know what to expect. I did some research a while ago but I didn't remember all of that. "That is good to know, thank you."

"Also, no lifting anything heavy. I do have check-ups for you already set up."

I lead on to her. "Thank you."

"Of course. I am here to help. Just make sure you rest. I will also deal with your patch so you don't have to worry about that."

I smile up at her. She lightly starts playing with my hair. I relax in her touch.
