day 7:
Saturday and Sunday went pretty well. No blood, no pain. I guess I'm going to attribute the murder scene of last week as having to do with being backed up for a couple days after the surgery. This morning I noticed a little bit of blood streaking in stool. I had to call the doctor anyway to schedule an appointment and he didn't seem concerned at all. I'm just going to keep taking it easy, eating light, taking the sitz baths, taking my vitamins and hoping for the best. The most important thing is that there is no pain.
Oh I should also mention that I am still regularly noticing some blood/discharge on the gauze pads I use. Bob when did you stop needing the gauze pads? Glad to hear you are making such a quick recovery
