No pun intended, but I think that I am almost out of the woods!
Stupid, environmentally friendly, low flow toilet was no match for morning BM. I never would have thought that the sight of a large, smooth, well formed BM would be such a beautiful thing; a real work of art! Funny how AF can totally change your perspective on the little things in life... as only you wonderful folks would know!
You can call your CRS office when having post-op issues, but it is nowhere nearly as comforting and encouraging as the advice and support of those who have lived it. I can't thank you all enough for helping me to get over this first major recovery hurdle!
