Hey gals and pals!
Well, its day...6 after my surgery, and I am finally off of my pain meds for good! I am glad that this is almost over. I still have to keep taking stool softeners, metamucal and milk of magnesia (yuck!) but i'd rather be doing that. I just have a few concerns.
number 1: I got a small, very brief spasm....is that a sign of things to come?
number 2: I looked for the first time today...you know...looked :roll: and umm....I still have a skin tag down there. Why wouldnt he have gotten rid of it?! To be honest with you, im pretty disappointed. We already talked about how embarassing those things can be. Not that many people see my back door very much...and I for one, certainly dont dabble in bedroom activity that includes that area (can you imagine the pain?!) but....none the less it does get seen in the bedroom, and thats embarassing!!!! :IMO:
number 3: I did go through a short period of being afraid of getting better. Has anyone experienced that? I know it sounds weird, but I am still kind of afraid that I will have gone through this, and then I'll mess it up or something and the fissure will come back. This time I WONT have insurance to cover me. I am just scared...I dont know why. I feel like I am going to let myself down. I know its totally within my control but...having to eat this diet does sometimes limit my choices in life...where I can go on the weekends, etc...
Anyways...6 days, and I am almost 100%. If it stays the way it is, and there is no pain, then the surgery will have been worth it. I am still disappointed about no skin tag removal though. He said he was going to get rid of it. What gives?! I'll have to ask him when I see him on my follow up day, march 2.
Stay well everyone
