I feel like I'm usually on here when I'm whining about one thing and another and you all are always so good to help with suggestions and support.
So tomorrow is 6 weeks post LIS and skin tag removal for me. I did not have a very good day yesterday, but wanted to offer the encouragement of a nervous wreck who is this many weeks out from surgery.
I have been trying to mess around with my regimen of stool softeners (as I started having very loose stools several times a day). In the process, I of course had a day yesterday that still included that later on, but started with firmer stools that were scary for me to pass and the skin tag area bled a little, which scared the pants off me! So then I was pretty irritated as I had 5 bowel movements over the course of the day. However, with a couple extra soaks and putting A and D ointment and then Calmoseptine ointment on the area last night, this morning it is pretty much like that didn't happen yesterday. In the past when I would have something like that happen, you could pretty much count on the next day hurting more, bleeding more, the whole fissure cycle starting back up. That was not the case this time. I feel like (as my dear late father-in-law would have said) "Something shot at and missed". But very encouraging to my mental state and I wanted to share with you that you should not assume that the same presurgery patterns apply should you have any setbacks following surgery. Particularly several weeks out.
