Well on day 3 of LIS surgery. Everything is moving well!! Although, I will say, I am feeling really tender and sore this morning, more so than yesterday, kind of like a constant ache. Still very swollen and black and blue, kind of stingy at times, but NO spasms. I think my fissure is what is stinging mine was very deep...to the muscle, but all I had was LIS, no fissurectomy or tag removal.I am assuming this is normal b/c all the feelings are coming to life after being really traumatized down there. I did sit on the couch alot yesterday as my back was killing me from laying so not sure if I sat too much. My discharge papers didn't say anything about not sitting but I know it can't be great b/c of the swelling. Trying to lay on my side more today and prop up with pillows. I am such a Type A, all this laying is killing me, kind of going stir crazy LOL. Was thinking yesterday, I would feel like a million dollars today, I guess it just takes time and I am only on day 3. I can't imagine anyone going to work day 3 or 4, my CRS said if I feel up to it I could. All in all, still glad I did this, just wish healing was faster!!! before surgery on Monday, I thought by Friday, I'll be back to my normal before fissure self...Friday will be 4 days post op. Guess still kind of early in the game.
