Stitches rant...

My baby boy is 9 days old now and the stitches are killing me. I just want to clean my vagina and I can't. It's so itchy and it hurts every time I get up between the stitches and the pressure. I want to be able to sit crossed legged and get on/off my bed without a step stool. Ugh! How much longer does this crap last?? I already told my husband NEVER again. pregnancy pre and post is NOT for me.
