Bigger than a sesame seed, heckuva lot smaller than it felt like

The pain died down a couple of hours ago -- while I was attributing that to the megadose of ibuprofen, I suspected that it might be due to the thing moving along, and so it seems to have done. Peeing through a funnel is an annoying thing to have to do, but it does provide fine closure in the form of, "Yes, the damned thing is out of your body".

Still a bit of residual achiness here and there, but I suspect that's more muscle tension than anything else. Hopefully that's the end of it, at least this time around. In the grand scheme of things, I got lucky: one day of that horror is shorter than most, far as I understand it. And I now have something to assiduously try to avoid, from here on out...

I'm glad you got rid of yours so quickly, and that they were able to give you the good drugs.

I had one when I was 36 weeks pregnant with Noah, which meant no real painkillers.... not fun.

Ow -- sympathies. I can't even imagine combining this with no painkillers *and* dealing with being very pregnant...
