The things we learn. Unfortunately, we jsut had to go and do it the hard way.

I am only teaching two this semester, so only 8 hours a week of class time.

Hello,
NOOOOOO fissures for you girls!!! I just signed on today it is Friday 8/31. I feel so bad for you girls. NO NO NO. I hate this AF! I am having a bad day today. When I have multliple BMs it really starts to bother me. I am having burning today and some pain, but I think it is healing some what. I go September 13th for my post-op. (Yippie no copay either I save $40 bucks!) I will ask about another shot if it is not fully healed. Lecia and buttgirl I am so sorry for you girls I want to take the pain away from you.
Lecia you would be proud of me. I have all good supplements flax seed, Fisol, Garlic and acidophilous. I feel good but once in awhile this AF reminds me it is still there.
If there is anything I can do for you let me know. I will pray that we all feel better!!
Onward we move.........
Patty

Thanks Patty. I appreciate your kind words. It is really demoralizing and I sometimes wonder how I am going to get through this again. But we managed the first time somehow!
I am super proud of you. You have been a real trooper and I am glad you are doing better though I know there are going to be ups and downs.
I like your mood. I needed to be minded of that!
Lecia

Lecia,
I don't want any of us to have this AF. Especially you becuase you are doing everything so natually and it took you so long.. But I am going to keep plugging for everyone. I want all of us to feel good and normal someday. Are you in any pain today? Is it an AF or a Hemmie that is bothering you?? My butt hurts now but I took Advil and it seems to be easing up. I have 4 days off from work so I will rest up.
Patty

Yeah, I am in pain now and pretty much am most of the day. I am going through the advil like it was candy! The hemmie is gone but there is a fissure where it burst and a skin tag. I think the pain is from both. I have another CRS appointment on the 11th so we'll see what she says!

Thanks Patty. sorry to hear about your rought days, but some relaxation should help. I took an afternoon of this week and felt sooo much better. I think it's this awful desk job that's making it hard to heal certain areas. Can't wait to be up and teaching again....

Lecia, that sounds kind like what I am experiencing, minus the skin tag. I put some iodine ointment on today at lunch and I am feeling a little better--it stung a bit at first though. I hope that doesn't mean I'm starting to get an infection.....
I hope your appt goes well. I am making one soon. I don't know if I should go the the GI (for antibiotics) or the CRS. Also, I am seriosuly contemplating going in for some chinese medicine. I found a fellow in Santa Monica who seems promising. I'll let you know if I go.
