Insult to inujury

I am 3 days into my journey after my miscarriage. No one ever tells you that there is so much pain. Im here to tell you that there is. Emotionally Im doing much better. Mentally Im in a better place too. Physically this sucks. I have never had a period that hurt or where I bled so much. The cramps that I had during the miscarriage were tremondous. I felt like I was in a lower level labor. I have also bled more since they said that the miscarriage was complete then when I was actually going through it. Is this normal? I havent researched it on line yet so Im going to do that soon. The Dr seemed to think I wouldnt bleed much longer as the ultrsound confirmed that the sac was gone however this is pretty extreme. I am wearing 2 maxi pads. Not just any pads but the ones that are as big as a diaper. The cramps are extreme. My back quit hurting but I feel as though everything female inside my body is going to plummet outside of me at any time. To me that is insult to injury. To still be bleeding is such a constant reminder. To still be hurting so much is ridiculous. Im still taking vicodin for the pain. I try to hold out as long as I can then Im in so much pain it takes forever to kick in.
However things I must tell you about my experience. I found that my boyfriend is the best I could ever ask for. I love him more each day but through this I have found that I am the luckiest girl on earth. He is the most supportive loving man I could ever ask for. When I was sitting on the bathroom floor puking and crying he held me and helped me up laid me down and covered me up. He knows just when to be sympethetic and when to try to make me laugh. He knows when to be there and when to back off. It fills me with love when I look at him to know that he put aside his own grief to take of me. How awesome is that? So for his birthday whioch is comming up on the 19th. I decided I was going to get him Timberwolves tickets. A time for us to bond get away. I booked awesome tickets and booked a 2 days hotel stay down in the cities. I told him about it when he got home from work. First he said OMG this is awesome!!! The he told me I spent to much ( which I did ) So I told him I said I thought this was a time for us to get away and reconnect........He looked at me and said "when did we disconnect?" How can you not love this man?
