Jen, the color sounds Ok and the amount, too. My fissure will still bleed if I have a large hard stool, which is very rare. With some of us they never go away completely, I am just happy I am 99% normal. So don't be too sure your fissure won't bleed fromtime to time. Of course, I cannot say that's what it is, I just wouldn't rule it out.

Next question: Are you constipated? If so, how badly?

OMG FISSY Your freaking killing me! That was so funny!!!

I actually thought that was so dang funny, my hubby read the story too - He laughed and thought that sounded just like me.

I am ashamed to say it, but in my "lab" I have the same routine with the soaks and mirror - God help me if I switch it to the magnifying side - it is not pretty!

Thanks! You have made my night!! Bottle cap and petri dish....LOL!!! smileyhug

Kim -

Thanks so much - it is so nice to hear that others think this is normal - it puts my mind at ease!!

I am so lucky that I never get constipated anymore. I have been having 1 - 2 BM's a day for about 5 months now. In my pre fissure days, I went every 3-5 days and thought everything was normal!!

Hey Jen :'\;redbud: ,
How are you doing? Has the mucus thing gotten better?

I was out walking tonight and thought of you. All of the lilacs are blooming and smelling really good. I picked some and brought them in today.

Hope you are well...Take care.

Hi Jo!!!

I bet the lilacs smell so good! I wish I had some! I just have to resort to buying the lilac sented lotion and candles. Sad

I still have the mucus thing. It is more white/clear than it used to be - maybe a sign of healing! I feel great and have no pain so I doubt it is an infection. The mucus also looks real healthy - just 1 drop of blood in it. I think my internal wound from the RBL is just taking its sweet time to heal.

How are you feeling? Getting better? huggies

Hi Jen,

Wish I could send you some lilacs, you deserve some!

It sounds like things are healing well for you, I am so glad. sunny

1 drop of blood in white/clear mucus sounds like things are on the way of being pretty normal. Hoping the blood will be gone very soon.

I am starting to feeling great! The nifidipine ointment must be letting me heal, things definitely feel looser and less tense. Sometimes I felt this day would never come, really I felt this was going to go on forever. It is a relief to know things can heal and I hopefully can keep on healing without any other procedures. I am going to try hard to keep the good diet along with fiber, water, walking, etc. so I don't have any constipation issues again. Wonder if I'll need miralax forever? I want to try MOM but it is scary to try when the miralax is working so well, but it is a little expensive.

Have a great day Jen!

Fantastic news Jen and Jo Very Happy

Jo, For now i would stick with what is working and dont risk a setback sunny

Subject: Re: Mucus May 20th 2008, 2:06 pm

Thanks Tabby flower

,

I will stay with the miralax for awhile, you are right, it is working and I don't want to go backwards.

How are you doing? Hope you are well. Your mood is hopeful so that is good!!

Take care...

Jo

Jen, have you spoken with your GP about the mucus thing? If it's been going on this long, I'd want to know why....
