Oh I'm delighted to hear you are back on track :) I think we will always get a little warning to remind us to be careful. I'm so happy to hear Vicky is getting on well, I'd say you really miss her. Enjoy your few days with her when she gets home.
I'm doing great thanks, no trouble at all tg. My brother just had Botox & hems banded on Wednesday. He's doing good tg he suffered for a long time, his fissure is almost healed but hems were bothering him. I hope this is the end for him too.
So many people suffer this it's really horrible.
I hope you get to reward your boyfriend again soon lol
Take care puzzle keep up the good work xxx

Hi edel! Oh my goodness ur poor brother as well!! Im sure the both of u have had some conversations! But at least u both totally understand where the other is coming from, its such a horrible thing. Vickys home and the both of us got into bed together and watched tv, she fell asleep and as a watched her it made a huge warm smile come over my face, i then did something really weird, i got up and took a piture if her sleeping, she then woke with an odd look on her face and asked me what i was doing in a worried tone, it was then i felt a bit like "the hand that rocked the candle" he he! I didnt think i was acting strange until i seen the look on my childs face! Lol! I then proceeded to send the pic to all my family and friends to let them c wee vic fast asleep in her own wee bed again. Us mums what r we like!!!! Loads of live xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi my name was puzzledbutt. Yes, thank u so much! Xxxxxxxx

Hey puzzle, we all do things like that don't feel weird they are our kids we do silly things lol.
How are you feeling? I'm still doing fantastic :) I get an odd feeling now & again but I ignore it. My brother is doing great at last thank god. You know it's funny I think I'm the only fissure sufferer that put on weight I was so depressed eating was my life saver. I'm glad to say I'm back in track I've lost a stone & feel great walking everyday & life is good. Finished painting the house & I've joined a drama group (not like me at all I'm not very out going) I'm so nervous I got a big part my hubby is in it too so he helps me. I still can't believe I'm doing it, this fissure experience has changed me for the better I think.
Hope all is well for you too xx

Hi puzzle,
Those flipping skin tags will always flare up mine was like that it fills with blood & becomes swollen & sore. I'm so glad I had mine removed. Hope yours has settled by now. How did your day go with vicky at the opera? I love musicals too last one I saw was Wicked I went to London with my sister & daughter to see it, it was amazing really recommend it. It's on in Dublin now & I might just get tickets to see it again :). My drama is going well settling into part but I'm still so nervous of opening night, it's not till 14th feb so still a few wks to go.
Take care of yourself xx

Hi edel! Whoooooo the 14 feb! I will remember that date alright thats vickys birthday! So i will b thinking of u and will say a wee prayer, i know u must b nervous but its a good nervous "feel the fear and do it anyway" u'l b great once u get on the stage and u will b so proud of urself! Ive never seen wicked but vicky did on a school trip ti londin a couple of years ago. Cats was great, we also brought my big sis who has learning difficulties and she just lived it her face was a real picture. Back in fissureland i had a bleed this morning couldve been somthg to do with the big wack if apple crumble i had yesterday but it is coming towards my time if the month and everything gos mad then. Hopefully wont bleed timoro again so its fish and veg again today, yum yum! Not! Have a great day edel, lots of love xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Im feeling really low. Period came last week and everything went mad down there, ive had so much stress and i think this is making things wirse. I was bleeding again from old fissure but that has stopped now but it feels that mayb a cm or so into the opposite side of my fissure is a really bad pain. I dont know if its another fissure or an absess im really frightening myself. I have the pain in that one place all day throbbing and can feel it as my bm is passing over it it just feels as if its goin to explode! Im not bleeding yet but im in total discomfort while sitting. Could this b an absess or another fissure? I cant make my bms any softer ieat mush everyday now. My heart is broke guess i will have to pay to go private again! I wish i could get an arse transplant!!!!!

Oh puzzled...... Ugh! It's so soul destroying when things start to go down hill again.... I know exactly how you feel.

As for having an abcess... Do you feel unwell with it, like a temperature?? I think that's one sign of infection...... Best get yourself looked at by your dr just to make sure.

Hang on in there girl!
