Just listen to your body Tony as you know it best! Nothing wrong with what you are doing, ur just out of surgery! SO, relax and take some "me time" now! I hope you feel better soon
Drove today, just a few miles to walmart but not having to pull over twice to walk off some pain almost made me tear up. It's been over a month since I was able to drive without pain & squirming.
I am afraid to talk about it because it doesn't seem like it should be this pain free. I still expect weird discharge etc pain for a while, but I haven't needed the strong pain stuff yet. Mostly irritation from trying to get clean and drainage. Btw I am using tp and sitz to clean, any better ideas?
Tony, I think it's so great that you are progressing so well. Truly an inspiration. I never use tp to clean. I very gently use the bathroom wipe, then a soft facecloth which I have run under warm water but just gently patting, never really wiping, then i get into the sitz bath.
Ok, using the wash clothes I might try, just don't know if I will ever be able to look at them the same again. I may need to burn our towels. In regards to sitz, I just lay there for a 1/2 hour and watch Netflix on my iPhone with butt submerged, are we suppose to do anything. I hate sitz.
