Broken stitches, ouchy!

I just really need to vent. I was having terrible pain going to the bathroom once we came home and for a few days I just figured I was being a cry baby, but when it got to the point where I would have to bite down on a towel just to avoid screaming when i peed I decided enough was enough and called my dr.

Well it seems that the stitches from my second degree tear near my urethra had come undone and had opened to about the size of a dime. No wonder I'm in pain. The worse news is that they say they won't restitch it due to risk of infection from it being open for so long. Are you kidding me? I mean I guess i get it but to think i just have to suffer thru this own wound that kills me every time I pee has really depressed me and made enjoying our new baby very difficult.....more bad news it started to open even more so pretty much the stitches are useless and I'm now stuck on bed rest and pain meds to get by. I can't jump up to get my little guy at a moments notice, my poor husband is doing pretty much everything and i just sit here like a cow waiting to be milked every two hrs by our little boy.

Is anyone else having troubles with after delivery recoveries, am i totally alone in this boat? Needing positive thoughts that this too will pass.
