Ugh, recovery

I'm not a fan of the recovery period after this c section. I've had 3 nights in a row so far (most recently was last night) of cold flashes that send me shivering up the stairs to pile on the layers and crawl into bed while Jason brings me a cup of hot tea. My feet and legs have been more swollen than they were the entire pregnancy. My legs are sore as if I've been working out. It burns when I pee. I'll get these random cramps in my stomach even just 45 minutes after taking my prescription Motrin. I've been getting quite a few headaches recently too. Not to mention that I feel useless not able to do anything to help around the house and I'm stir crazy just staying in the house.

When does this end? When will this all start to go away?
