baby head-butting incident

I had an awful incident Monday night...

I had sworn off the pain medicine because it just made me feel groggy. I had been doing great all weekend and had a nice day on Monday. Adam and I had taken the kids to bed and I grabbed for Mimi, who didn't want to be grabbed, and as I drew her towards my lap she reared back and head butted me right on my newly implanted side! I immediately put pressure on it thinking it had split open and screamed like I was coming down a large hill on a roller coaster. I actually saw stars!!
Mimi was crying, Addison had plugged his ears and Adam, who had run downstairs to get Mimi's pacifier, came running looking bewildered. We decided the site looked good and was not disturbed, got the kids to bed... and I held a bag of frozen peas on my ear. Needless to say, I cried for nearly and hour, the pain made me sick to my stomach and I am quite sure it is bruised...
Sadly, we called the doctor for a different pain medicine because it is still pretty tender in light of the head butting incident. So Tuesday was a rough day for me pain wise... just when I was starting to feel better! Yesterday I got a new pain med. and took one at bedtime and this morning I am truly feeling pretty good. I am definitely a bit stir crazy and feel like I am going to drive myself to the library this morning, anywhere to get myself out and motivated... I have not driven yet, and I am pretty sure a long highway trip wouldn't be the brightest idea, but I am feeling pretty good and need out!
