I agree with Tabby, Butt Machine, take it easy and stay off the bike. You don't want to go backwards in your healing progress. Good luck!!

Hi everyone. Had my follow-up doctor's visit today, and he says I'm doing remarkably well. I'm cleared for my road trip, as long as I take wipes along and get up to walk around once in awhile.
Yesterday was the first day I didn't even take any ibuprofen. Things are going very well. I'll check in a few weeks from now and let y'all know how I'm doing.
Happy holidays to all!

It makes me smile from ear to ear reading your progress
Remember those breaks when driving OK !! :D
Happy holidays to you Buttmachine :cccc:

Good going, butt machine! Hope your healing continues to go well.

Hi everyone. It's been about 3-1/2 weeks since the procedure now, and I managed the road trip (along with staying in a bunch of different beds and using a bunch of different bathrooms) just fine.
I believe I'm experiencing no discomfort from the fissurectomy or LIS at all anymore. The only thing I feel is a bit of irritation from the tag removal site after cleaning up. Sitting in the tub helps, and I've been using antibiotic + pain relief ointment for a couple of days as well. Not a big deal, just a little reminder that all is not completely well as of yet.

Truly amazing.

Fantastic :D Lucky you!

Way to go!

you are so unbelievably lucky to feel this good 3 1/2 weeks after surgery. i was barely walking 2 weeks after my fissurectomy. your story is amazing and quite mind boggling. i hope things continue so well for you!
