Hi All,
Time for an update
The last 3 days have passed very quickly and I've had the operation in mind all the time, but it has not been my main thoughts, like before LIS when I constantly was thinking of AF, BM's and operations, and how it's was all going to proceed.
Monday and Tuesday after surgery was hard, long and painful to get through, but when I woke up Wednesday and was to celebrate my birthday, I could feel that there was something that felt better than it had for a very long time down there
My BM passed without pain or blood, and it was over so quickly that again I did not think I was done, what a nice gift to myself.
The only problems I have now durring BM, is that I still do not have complete control over my sphincter, so it takes some time from when I feel the stools are on the way, to actually something happens, but no problem, since everything else works as it should now, and I think that I will gain control over my sphincter again soon
My AF has not had any problems since before my LIS, because I've been doped up by the pain medication, but also because my sphincter have stopped having spasms. I have not felt any spasms since Monday before they rolled me into surgery.
It's starting to itch from my AF, as it did after I had a Fussurectomy / Botox when AF was healing up, so I hope this is what is about to happen again
It has been great for me to get LIS, after so many months with my AF. But I can't help feeling I'm waiting for when there will be a setback, because everything has gone so well and so quickly so far. Therefore I take each day quietly, and then I see what it has to offer.
In fact, it seemed to me that LIS is a very simple and it is clearly desirable from my point of view, compared to Botox and Fissurectomy. When I think of how much time I have spent in my bed after Botox and Fissurectomy, compared to what I have with LIS, it is ridiculous to think of how much time I've wasted. I had a brief talk with the surgeon about this, and he also felt that we often waste a lot of time with NTG, Botox, etc. and it often would give more quality of life for patients to start with LIS. I will not decide whether to take one or the other treatment, but I felt that I have wasted much time, and I would like to have had my LIS earlier in my AF adventure. But here in Denmark LIS as a last the resort you are offered for the treatment of AF.
I will keep you updated with my progress, and what is happening
May you all have a nice and painless weekend
Kind regards
