Thanks Savaici. The most stressful part of this is that I'm going to be closing on a house the day of the surgery. On top of that, I'm going to miss work and worry about defaulting on the loan. Not only am I worried about missing one week of work, but many weeks in the future. I bring in the majority of the income in my household. My girlfriend said she is going to pick up hours and I believe her. She has been very supportive. The other part that stresses me out is the level of activity in my job. I usually work 10 hour days and and I walk 12-15 miles a day through some non forgiving terrain. I'm hoping that they can accommodate me with light duty. I do know that I'll be back to being a training instructor in March but that job is many miles away from home and the followup appointments wont be with the original rectal surgeon.
I could keep going on and on about how stressful this is. I can't sleep at night. My immune system is going down and i now have the flu. On top of that, I'm working 40 hours this week starting today and need to get that by wed and my surgery is on the 11th.
I don't get it. I'm only 25, I eat very healthy, stay in great shape, I am very healthy, I stay in a great mood and have no enemies. Why does this have to plague me? I feel like I have no one to vent to being that this is a very embarrassing topic and I have no time to see my therapist.
I'm sorry, the rant is over.
Does anyone know if this is staph or MRSA? Any alternatives to the antibiotics? The antibiotics they prescribe me feel like death. I'd much rather deal with the pain than to go through the blockage from the pain meds. Does anyone know of anything natural for pain besides hydroconstipation? Has anyone used tumeric?
How has everyone treated their area after surgery?
