I'm not too bad thanks. I'm 6 weeks this Saturday. Having a few problems with over granulation so having to have silver nitrate treatments. Also daily visits to the nurse still.

Although I'm bleeding a lot yesterday and today. Not sure why as I don't get blood often. Not sure if it's an infection or if it's because yesterday when I was at the nurse she pulled on my seton !!! She was trying to remove it as she thought it was dressing ! I hope she hasn't torn anything. Got docs in a min (at 9am). Will see what he says

How are you finding sitting? X

I will let you know how I get on. Just thinking about yours. Do you take any stool softeners? If not, I'd recommend Lactulose. It's brilliant. It will help to keep the stools soft so they literally just slide out (sorry if tmi lol). But not enough that you need to run to the loo if you stick to the correct dosage. XxX
