I totally agree with you - it is hard to be mentally available to your kids with a fissure. Women always try to do everything at once - and I am so guilty of that.
Thanks to you and a few others, I am not afraid of LIS anymore. However, I don't think I'm there quite yet. My fissure is almost healed. If I could just stop the tension & spasms with my BM's, I will be better. I have only been on the nifedipine for 3 weeks - I am going to try to give it a few months. I have to take this one day at a time. If my fissure retears again, I will get the LIS...I won't live like this anymore.
If I decide on the surgery, it will be hard to schedule it, but I will make it happen. Life is very hard for me now. I have school, the baby, my fissure, this hepatitis scare from the dirty syrings, AND my husband is deployed. Even if I wanted the surgery now, I couldn't have it because I need help with my baby for my recovery. Sadly, I have no family in town to help out.
I can't thank you all for your educational & emotinal support!
