Day 1...
CRS advice.
Bath after every BM.
No salt in bath, plain water....
Pain should start getting better by weekend.
Keep clean and dry.
Pain meds every 3-4 hours...
Gauze should exit on BM. I had to remove it(not nice)
Up at six like clock work for BM... OMG. Pain from incision site was bad! Worse than I expected.... Nearly hit the roof! Cold sweat and nearly passing out with a cold towel over me. Straight into bath after incident. Now last time I had anaesthetic I had this reaction. Back into bed to sleep(again) can anyone say the first BM after LIS was that bad...?
Now I'm passing gas which feels silent and feels like it's BM (it's not though). Hard to clean up and incision site is throbbing and feels stingy. Had to clean up a bit too after gas... On,y a tiny bit, this is freaking me out. I hope I've made the right decision doing this LIS.
Questions for my lovely friends.
Is it hard to Clean up after BM?
How long to take sitz baths? CRS said a few days?....
Anyone had gas like this?
Keeping dry? I'm using a cotton pad to dry up and then leaving air to get to it?
