Sorry they postponed your appointment! I know you want the green light that all is ok, and now have to wait /-: Yes,I am still on quite a lot of Miralax. Full cap in PM and 1T in AM. Plus, one capsule Colace softener and 2/3C bran buds. I have taken about a capful of Miralax every day for maybe 10 years b/c I have slow digestion (IBS) so had to add in more when fissure was re-torn back in August.
I am always grateful for your descriptions of your recovery. I frankly have learned more detail about related issues here than I got explained to me by my CRS. I was never told I even had a tag until I asked post-op and was told, "Oh yes, we excised that during surgery". It's like they don't want to "bother me" with too many details - grrrrrr. You mention a "papilla" and I think I may have that too, upon self inspection. I had not heard that term before.
You say you still sense something "down there" . Did or do you continue to have any sense of a very firm, marble-like mass in the area? While I have no more pain from the infection,(I am still finishing 10-day course of Levaquin and Flagyl antibiotics) I do still feel this. Just wondering if this is "normal" or my own deal. I am nervous about an abscess being there and will have to see next Tuesday after next visit.
I know you are super busy so no rush to reply.
