The surgery may have been a success. However, after that first day when I was all drugged up on pain medications, I began to hurt and we won't even talk about going to the bathroom. After using the bathroom, I have to sit in a tub full of warm water for about 10 minutes. I don't regret having the surgery. But, I can tell this is going to be slow healing process. I am in pain but mostly after a bowel movement. I have been able to go today without any pain medication. I have been able to start sitting for a few minutes at a time.
The doctor doesn't want me to go back to work until at least Thursday. Luckily, I have had great friends and co-workers who have donated time to me. I thank every one of them.
