You will beat this thing Badass !!!
I am so sorry you had a rough day, praying today is better for you

BA,
Possibly if you concentrate on all the things you are now rid of, that might be beneficial for you--tight sphincter, hemmie, and fissure. (that's a lot!)
Good luck, and I will think of you while I am golfing tomorrow in my league. Since you cannot golf right now, maybe you can send me good golfing and AF/butt wishes. Hopefully, I won't miss while swinging tomorrow.

Hi BA,
Sorry you've been having such a rough week. I can relate to the pain of the hemmie removal. There are many ups and downs, just concentrate on the fact that it will all go away soon and you won't have all this pain and suffering.
Are you taking something daily to keep the bm's soft and moving? It seemed on the days I didn't have soft bm's I regressed. It's now been 4 1/2 months since my surgery and I still have tenderness and thin skin there. I bleed very easily though the pain is MUCH better. I still take the miralax nearly daily cause it would be very diffiuclt to have hard stools. The fiber is also sooo important. I know the bout with diahrea can make one nervous about taking anything else.
It is good to keep on top of the pain with some pain pills, maybe a half can help your day from being miserable. I would sometimes try to take something before the bm so it could start taking hold right away.
Hope you are having a positive day and can see the improvement over the last week. So glad you have another week off to recover, maybe you will be able to do something that you would enjoy this week.

Praying for your recovery. Take care.

You are all awesome. Thanks for keeping me focused on whats not here anymore. Today was a much better day and I am thankful for the progress that I have made. I am still trying to find some consistacy with BM. Between the GA, the phosophate, the stool softners and the pain pills it has been nearly impossible.
However, I am hoping I can get it back on track as the last time I took a pain pill was on Friday, and the Phosophate is a fading nightmare. Today I had breakfast (oatmeal) and lunch (soup and a sandwich) The pain is bearable and I feel like Ive taken a step forward (ah... I mean backward) and look forward to (code) more setbacks lol.
Drove to visit my boy Peace today and took him to the park. What a great time and gift. Still not ready to bring him home but can see that time coming soon. It was the best hour Ive had in a long time and my face has never been cleaner!
Made my post surgery follow up with my CRS. Going next Monday and can't wait. Thank you all for staying in touch and picking me up when I'm down. I hope I can return the Love.
Time for another Sitz...four a day keeps the Hemmies away!!

Glad to hear you had a good day and are making some progress. Hope you can enjoy some more time off this week, the park time with your dog sounds great!
Good luck with your appointment next week.

Jo

I am soo sorry ; ) that you had such a "bad day" !!! "Unfortunately"
I am sure that you will have more and more of those ; )) !
Peace looks so beautiful - what breed she is ? She is obviously a gun dog - just gorgeous !!!
Continue (not) having fun ; )!!!!
All the best !

Hi Fiss! Peace is a Vizsla a/k/a Hungarian Pointer. I plan on picking him up this Friday if everything stays on track. I can't believe it has been a week since surgery; seems like a life time. Hope everyone is well!

BA,
Thank you for sending me good vibs this AM for my golf league. I didn't miss the ball and won low net in my flight and got a prize out of it since we had a luncheon for our golfing guests from other courses.

Congratulations Cheryl!!! Way to go! Im another day closer to the links myself. So nice to hear about your great day. D.

Oh, sorry to call him a "girl" ; ) - he is so pretty that it was just a reflex - I guess LOL. Does he needs a lot of exercises ? Are Viszlas easy to train ? Do you use him for hinting or is he just your snuggle buddy ?
Hope you are doing "horrible" ; ) today !!!
