Thanks, all. Doing a bit better. Stopped taking my pain meds yesterday (taking tylenol instead) and that has made a huge difference. I don't need the pain meds anymore and they really clogged my system up. I'm also sleeping better. For those of you heading towards surgery: keep taking laxatives/stool softeners when you leave hospital. My entire perineal area is numb, and nurses said this might be true for months. So your bowel and bladder will need all the help they can get! Severe constipation has truly been the worst part of my recovery so far.

Hi fmiyakaw,
I will be having an appointment with Dr F September 24. My symptoms have worsened and I am so much looking forward to the day of my surgery. Your post-op updates are much appreciated. What were your pre-op symptoms? Did you go into the surgery having nerve damage? Thank again for your generosity.
I wish you a smooth and "fast" recovery. God bless you!
