HI Apes,
Things have been slowly getting better. I'm watching everything I eat, taking a variety of vitamins and supplements that promote tissue repair, anal health, etc. The spasms are much better so I guess the botox is working. Today was not as good as the past few days so there is a lot of up and down. But today was still far, far better than a few weeks ago. It's just so slow. Mornings seem to be the hardest for me. It takes me a few hours to get going. I usually have 2 bm's and have to soak, lay down, apply ointment. So I'm planning on returning to work on time. I have a workshop this week and have to go in to set up my classroom. I plan on being very gently and slow. Officially, I start on September 2nd and I think I might have to get up at 4:00 to do my routine and get to work on time. I;m hoping that the botox heals this fissure and everything gets better......I still get the spasms and pain at times which remind me that the damn cut is still there, Trying to keep a positive attitude.
Thanks for checking in, I was going to post an update soon. I see the CRS Monday and I'm a little worried about letting her look.Not sure I will yet.
Hope you had a wonderful vacation and are doing well!
