Hello everyone, thank you for your kind well wishes.
Well here goes...
Got to the hospital at 7.30, went down to theatre at 10.30. Back at 11.30. No abscesses or anything untoward.
But there were 2 internal hemmaroids! So the CRS banded them! He also did the Botox, but now the pain is horrible from the banding! Orange stuck up there springs to mind!
So when I left the hospital I was sick twice once at the side of the motorway and then again when I got home! Slept okay.
Then the dreaded BM.... Actually the pain wasn't as bad as I thought... Weird! Then cold sweat came on, dizziness, had to sit on the floor to avoid passing out!
Got into sitz bath after this had subsided, they told me I need to keep the area
very clean. Then back into bed. Called the hospital they said this is normal for the procedure and the side effects from the Anaesthetic!
Feel a little sick now, but have managed some toast.
I really wanted just the Botox! Oh well.. Can't change it now.
CRS said I could expect anything from 6 weeks to 3 months for the Botox to ease the anal pressure. He did say there has been a report where someone had resting pressure for a year?!
Not sure when I will see a difference cos of these stupid banded hems. Just throbbing and burning now!
Dreading the BM tomorrow...... Ugh! Keep going..... 👿💉😷😡
