I didn't have outright leakage or incontinence, but when I had to go after the surgery, I had to go. I really couldn't hold it very long.
I know my surgeon made a very small incision because that's all he thought was necessary for me, but yeah...at times I wonder if he didn't cut enough. When I told him the spasms were continuing he didn't seem fazed, and didn't offer any suggestions. That's why I sought a second opinion.
The second surgeon actually couldn't see the fissure when she examined me (obviously that doesn't mean it's not there, though). However, it was very painful when she pressed on the area where the incision had been made, and she said there was a slight, slight chance I had an abscess. She really couldn't tell, though, and she wanted to give me more time to see if I'm just a slow healer (vs. the surgery being totally unsuccessful) before doing anything drastic like putting me under and doing a more in-depth exam.
I just feel like I've taken a big step backward, which was NOT supposed to happen! I want to study abroad soon, so this thing needs to be healed, NOW!
How are you feeling today?
