Thanks so much mbp, I'm for sure taking lots of miralax now, and my insides are rumbling big time - I'm sure in a couple days I'll have the opposite problem again.
I couldn't speak to the surgeon today - she is in or and can't reach me, so it will the morning. Frustrating, but that's the way it is here - she is much better than most at getting back to me. And an appointment on Thursday is incredibly quick. Most would just have sent me to OR for another doctor to deal with.
The pain right now is quite bad - I think partly because there is stool in there irritating things. I did another sitz bath and very gently tried to go and lots of blood came out...seems like I may have torn something, or maybe it's an internal hem. In any case, I'm trying to just ignore the urge right now and relax...I don't think I can handle the pain of trying again. I will try and put a glycerin suppository in again before bed, hopefully soften things up and go easily in the am.
I keep saying it, but this is so exhausting. Between my ibs and the fissure and the surgery I have not had a break from pain since this all started, and it's just got me to my breaking point. You all have been so helpful and I would be lost without being able to share here
