Hello everyone,

I had my pph surgery for a couple large bleeding internal and one tiny external hem on Fri. May 22 at 7:20 am i woke up in the recovery room with minimal pain. My right eye was killing me cause (i found out later) it was scratched during surgery when they were turning me over. ( Later that day they called in an antibiotic eye drop for me and i am better.) They gave me percocet before i went home and sent me home with scripts for vicodin and valium (for bowel spasms) my doc told me to start taking them at 2pm and to continue whether i felt i needed them or not. He said he gave me a local antisethic in the area that would last around 12 hours. He told me to take 2 tbs of metamucil in the morning and 2 colace at night. and to continue to do so for at least a week or two. I had my first tiny bm Sat morning and a couple more tiny ones Sat. On Sun (today)I had a couple small ones and a normal size one. Soft and a tiny formed. Honestly the pain was not horrible. There was some pain but not that bad. I have had a lot of pressure the anal opening up about 6 or so inches. That is it. I did bleed a bit during bm's but not much. So far this experience has been very positive. Already I can tell that the hem is gone cause it does not prolapse anymore. I hope that this helps people trying to decide whether or not to get this done. I do get worn out and weak and all the stuff cause of surgery, like nausea, etc. I will keep you all posted. I sure hope the rest of the week goes this well. My doc wants me back to see him in two weeks to get a check up and a note to return to work. If I feel this good the middle of next week I am asking him to go back the first week of June.
