DAY 2
Well, today was a great day! It was largely uneventful and almost entirely pain-free. I didn't even have to take any pain medication. I keep asking myself: "Why did I wait so long to have the surgery?"
To be perfectly honest, I can't believe I actually had surgery yesterday! I was able to walk around today without any discomfort. I haven't have any drainage, leakage or any bleeding at all today, but I'm going to continue to wear a pad in my boxers for the foreseeable future. I did take a couple of baths just to make sure that everything down there stays nice and clean. I also had a little gas today, but it wasn't painful and I didn't had any problem holding it in.
I still haven't had a BM yet. I have continued to take Miralax (and probably will for life), so I'm hoping that I'll have the dreaded first post-op BM tomorrow. I don't feel boated at all, but I am used to having a BM every morning and had hoped that I would have one today.
I am still watching my diet and drinking lots of water.
Hopefully tomorrow will be another great day!
