Girls don't poop...LIS

I am 5 months post LIS now, and since my check up appointment was cancelled I have tried to get a new appointment...and guess what, they called me this morning and asked if I could come 11.30 today

The fissure at 12 o'clock is healed, and the deep 1 cm long at 6 o'clock where the muscle fibres were showing (according to my CRS) is now reduced to 2 superficial cracks. They may be the ones I tore on Sunday.

I know I will be compromised down there, maybe forever, and that this will take a lot of time to heal, but at least I know now that it is healing properly and even though it may take time before I am feeling more normal, this is

These last years have been a nightmare and I am grateful that I may finally see the end of it. I will not take anything for granted, but I will do my best to enjoy life as things are slowly improving

Thanks for all your support, both the old ones and the new ones

This forum is so unique, the support, encouragement and advice you get here is what keeps you sane when you hit rock bottom.

A special thanks to Kim who keeps this forum running so smoothly

Corsi

Thank you, Corsi, , too!!

And, C-O-N-G-R-A-T-U-L-A-T-I-O-N-S!

I hope the newer boardies who are having such a hard time healing read your post above and take heart in it! Healing can happen and yes, sometimes it comes very slowly. But AF does not have to be forever!

Yes, you can't take anything for granted but yu know what, you may not be forever compromised there, but you just have to life your life as if you were so you never have to endure this nightmare again.

I love good news!

So cool Corsi!! So the pain you feel is from the two small cracks? Does it hurt all the time?

I agree----Kim is awesome!!!

Aww, shucks!!!

OH, MY! Is that Grumpster on the beach at Corsica in your avatar, Corsi? Look at him! Were there enough pretty ladies at the beach for him to enjoy?

Ok that is hysterical. Grumpster sure didn't want to leave there I am guessing!

I'll post more pictures in his thread, he has made it very clear that he is NOT going to share a thread with me
He really is moody today because it is raining here, and I have sent him out in the garden to pick cherries for me. He is quite lazy Kim??

Hahaha. Let Grumpster be lazy!

Did it hurt for the CRS to examine you Corsi? Did he/she say that you retore those cracks? I am so curious as it seems as though we are similar in our problems..

So is that the wine he's been drinking in your siggy -- no, I think it is...NO! You have got him hooked on champagne!

Well, I cannot wait to see his photos. Lazy? Oh, YES! When he was here I had to light his cigars, go get his beer, and even change the TV channels for him on the remote-- but he had no fingers so that was understandable! He was a nasty fissure with me, but once he got to Scotland he seemed to start calming down and by the time he made it to Norway, well, you said he's been behaving himself???

He needs to come down here and get a bushwacker.....yum

Corsi,

I am so happy for your GOOD NEWS!!!!! You have been through a lot, that is for sure!! Like Kim said, you have given many others encouragement with your latest post. I love your sig and your avatar with the Grump!!

Yes, he needs to either come down there and visit Sasha and the kitties and fishies, or go play golf in Indiana with Cheryl.

Of course, Darren may or may not be ready for him, too!

Or BOTH!

It was uncomfortable, but not painful like in fissure days. He is very gentle, and both me and my hubby like him and trust him.
He agreed it must be what I tore on Sunday...I hope it heals soon.

The Grumpter thing is so funny, my hubby and sons thought I was crazy who brought him on holiday

Do you feel pain all the time or only certain times? What does it feel like?

My two year old might think Grumpster is funny! But, my Sasha (husky) might think he's dinner....haha

I was a bit painful sometimes, but I guess it's normal - after all he was poking around and I have a new, but superficial crack there.

Grumpter, dinner? Did you hear that Kim?

Hmm, I think waving Grumpster in front of Sasha's drooling jaws would be JUST the thing to make him act civil!
