Hey Ravians, how are you doing? Did you get your LIS today? Hope you're feeling well!
This will sound crazy, but I don't have the specifics on my AF. I was in unbearable pain, and I opted to schedule
a sigmoidoscopy and surgery together with my CRS. He met with my husband while I was in recovery, but I won't have specifics on what he found and did until I meet with him this Tuesday. He said I had a midline fissure that wasn't healing properly on its own. He did some cutting around the fissure/scar tissue, but I'm not sure to what extent. I'll keep you posted!
As for my progress: I'm 2.5 days post-op. Feeling okay. I'm struggling to regulate the frequency and consistency of my BMs, so that has been... Interesting. I've had quite a bit of rectal itching today (driving me bonkers!!!), and I e bad some mild spasms. Managing pain with 400mg of Motrin/ibuprofen. Rectal bleeding gone (hopefully for good!), and no leakage. Some slight icontinence with gas, but at least I can out-angel gas my husband.
Sorry for all the TMI, but if it helps just one person it's worth it!
I'm thinking of you and hoping for a speedy recovery for you.
