Just wanted to update everyone, had my sphincterotomy and a fissurectomy yesterday. Surgery it self went well. For my anesthesia, they put me to sleep and then put a breathing tube down my throat, when I woke up I was having some problems, coughing a lot and my oxygen went down to about 88 so they had to give me some oxygen in recovery. Once we got that under control I was taken back to the outpatient area where I had a feast of diet pepsi and graham crackers. I felt no pain in my bottom...Got to come home about 2:30. I did have a WHOOPER size headache, but I think that was due to the anesthesia too. I did go to my daughter orientation! I was somewhat out of sorts from the pain meds, but I made it through.
I slept pretty well last night, I did wake up a few times, to have a cold drink, as my throat is still hurting. Now this morning my bottom is starting to burn, sting a bit. I have started my sizt baths, the dr sent me home with an antibiotic, Vicodin, Diazapram, Lidocain ointment. She gave me a script for another cream(sorry don't know the name), but it has sulfa in it and I'm allergic so she told the pharmacy to not fill that one.
It turns out that I did still have a fissure in there, guess it was just being quite:)
I'm pretty sleepy so far today, I haven't taken any pain meds since about midnight. Thanks for everyone's encouragement and support!
Time for a nap, I'll check in later:)
