It does feel like the antibiotics cleared up the bladder infection - but I wasn't having very serious symptoms anyway. I do feel better though - I'm out and about in the world, shopping and sitting at my computer getting work done. I'm almost back to my normal life now.
I'm not pushing myself too hard - just easing back into things; but, man, it does feel good to not be in constant pain and worrying about BMs and all that!
I hope you're getting to this point too. The blood really can freak you out - no doubt! I hate seeing blood.
But I've calmed down about it quite a bit. I inspect the wound everyday and I can tell that it's healing and not infected, so the blood doesn't bother me as much anymore. It's getting less and less too, so that helps. It does sound like you are well on your way to a full recovery! Yay! Try to stay positive. It gets better!
