Just a quick update,
Came out of "surgery" only to be told that they didn't perform an LIS or fissurectomy. The CRS told me that my sphincter muscle was fine and that the fissure was not very deep. All things I told him before he insisted it was time for surgery!! He did cauterize the fissure and my butt feels like hell, but atleast I didn't need any pain killers beyond the hospital. So my CRS tells me it's back to conservative treatment...I felt like crying. I kept telling him that I've been anal retentively following conservative treatment for the past 5 months.
The best thing about my whole trip to the hospital was the the anasteseologist really did a number on my mouth. I didn't realize it until I got home and the pain meds wore off, but he damages the top and back of my mouth and the back of my top lip. Needlessly to say, I'm pretty hot about that.
I guess I need to just focus on Lecia and Happy Ass' luck with conservative healthing. I'm glad the board is here for that type of inspiration.
I'll let everyone know how successful the "cauterization" is with the fissure. Still no BM....and I'm dreading it.
