I know a lot of us develop a fear around pooping, with or without the surgery. I'm already feeling nervous about tomorrow. I just had the surgery and my poop was so painful that I passed out very briefly. (The world went black and I started to fall, but I was back before I even hit the ground.)
Understandably, I'm afraid about tomorrow. I'm also convinced that the fear is going to make things worse and delay healing.
What do you do when you are fearing the poo? Any tricks or suggestions?
I'm considering developing a guided meditation tape just for AFers. How fun would that be?
