Nice to meet you too!
I'm just going to go ahead and keep posting away. It is just helpful for me to type this out everyday, as I particularly don't like discussing this person to person.
After I posted that update about day 3- I ended up going to the bathroom 3 more times after that. I guess making up for the 2.5 days after surgery I did not go. The second time I noticed a bit of bleeding. Last night I noticed a decent amount of blood on the gauze pad I had in place. I guess it is to be expected.
Here I am on day 4- I am able to sit ok with little discomfort. Things are OK. I'm a little disappointed in the bleeding during the BM, but I realize I just had surgery there and that bleeding is going to be a reality for a little bit. I guess the first BM that was pain and blood free got my hopes up a little too high! It is going to be a long process. I have to temper my expectations. Still on the road to recovery.
