Today is the 2nd day after my surgery (Thursday). Had surgery on Tuesday. Slept last night with no issues. I have not taken any pain medication. The bottle of 30 percocets sitting on my dresser is collecting dust and I have a feeling will continue to do so. I have only taken 1 Aleve yesterday morning after my first BM.
This morning when I woke up I felt the urge to go and went around 6am. I immediately jumped into a warm bath and then showered. I have been finding the Poland Spring Bottles (sport bottles) helpful while in shower. I use the tip and squirt my backside clean while running the shower. I went downstairs and had breakfast and then around 8am I had to go a 2nd time. I followed the same routine. Definitely a bit of soreness but not spasms thus far. Its strange going to the bathroom and not having the burning/throbbing sensation afterwards (its surreal).
My wife bought me some maxipads to put in my boxer briefs to catch any leakage. Definitely noticing some blood here and there but thats about it. Ive been moving around fairly well and took a quick ride to the grocery store before. I put a pillow on my seat in my truck and felt completely comfortable. Been sitting on a heating pad as much as possible while at home.
I took a look at the area this morning and noticed some purplish bruising but thats about it. I always hated the skin tag and Im glad its gone.
Been taking ducolax and magnesium every night and eating my fair share of fiber. Gonna continue to stay away from anything constipating. My wife always teases me and says I can never just sit still. Been doing some light exercises with a resistant band (mostly upper body). Making sure not to tense my bottom so I dont irritate anything.
I CANT BELIEVE HOW MUCH I WORRIED ABOUT THIS SURGERY. SO FAR ITS BEEN SMOOTH SAILING. IM SURE ILL HAVE SOME SETBACKS. I DID HAVE TO SNEEZE EARLIER THIS MORNING AND THAT WASNT VERY PLEASANT......LOL.
