One Week Post Op Day 7
Sleeping last night was a little difficult because of the pain. BM was fine this morning. I’m getting frustrated because I have a difficult time telling if I need to go. I also have a hard time feeling like my bowels are empty. Any ideas guys?? It worries me a little and I don’t know why it’s happening. Pain this morning was an 8 just from the surgery pain. It felt achy. Sore. Sometimes it feels like pulling or little needles stabbing. It’s weird. But the pain subsided mid day. Ate my usual. Except that I had spaghetti sauce with spaghetti squash. Hoping that comes out well. We’ll see. Lots of water. 23 grams of fiber. Sitz baths. Ibuprofen. 2 stool softeners, one in the morning, one in the evening. Swelling seemed better this morning but bowel movements aggravate it and it swells again. I’m wondering when I can try sitting. I’m still laying on my sides. I’m also wondering if it would be bad to lay on my back. I need a manual with instructions. Lol.
