Ok so I finally did it I had Botox and a fissurotomy today...have decided to write a diary as I was really against Botox and was talked into it by my surgeon as my fissure is really long and he wants to try to start the healing before I have LIS or the cut would be too long...he has said now he's had a proper look it's one of the worst fissures he's seen (gee thanx)
Hated the general anaesthetic...very scared...
The pain right now is about a 4 but seeing as I have painkillers in there I'm assuming it's going to go up quite a bit...
Worried that I can't put my GTN up there for a week but as this was the recovery nurse who said that, I may phone surgeon in a few days.
So seeing as I can often go to the loo 15 times a day I have decided not to eat for a few days...can understand this might not be ideal but really can't risk multiple trips.
Hoping this diary will help me keep positive on what I'm sure is going to be an emotional recovery...you guys are always so helpful
Thanx for listening
