Alex Bridges Posted April 12, 2019 Author Share Posted April 12, 2019 There’s a very low chance this operation could lead to me having a legit need for diapers for a while, and lower chance that it could be permanent. It’s actually pretty horrifying to think of. Fortunately, it’s unlikely due to my age and lack of previous trauma down there. For instance, I’ve only endured vaginal childbirth as the more passive participant. ? 1 Link to comment

A lateral internal spincterotomy to help an anal fissure heal. Best advice I think I can ever give anyone: make sure you eat enough fiber. It will save you from pain so bad you didn’t think it existed. Link to comment
Little_Mouse Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Wish you the best of luck with the surgery and that the result will be as you expect. ? Link to comment

Alex Bridges Posted April 12, 2019 Author Share Posted April 12, 2019 Seems I came through fine, and now I’m sitting on a toilet waiting for my bladder muscles to wake up so I can pee like I’ve been needing to for the last five hours. ? 1 Link to comment

Yeah it’s normal after the use of anesthesyc in your surgery , if you can’t you can ask to pass a cateter in your uretra to Drain your pee Link to comment

Im at home camped on the toilet trying to keep my urinary sphincter open so I can continue to drain. I gotta go ? Link to comment
Pierry Louys Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 You can drink a lot of juice (especially Mellon and watermelon ?) that would help you go ! And instead camping in the toilet you could use diapers heheeh 1 Link to comment
Crimson_Wolf Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Drink warm water with cranberry juice as it's a diuretic and will help you go. Link to comment
DiaperBoy37 Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 I had surgery a couple of years ago on my ankle which unfortunately came back for the second time. I remember not getting up to go poop for several days. But I continued to eat a regular diet. It was not fun when I had to go... Link to comment
Sarah Penguin Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Glad the surgery went ok 1 Link to comment

Needing to go is not the problem. Purely mechanical. It’s because of the local anesthetic the muscles that open the pipe, so to speak, aren’t working so well. Funny, you think that would cause incontinence, not retention. It’s steadily getting better. Link to comment
Alex Bridges Posted April 12, 2019 Author Share Posted April 12, 2019 One of the things I like so much about DD is you can talk about almost anything, and people will be supportive. Thank you. 1 Link to comment
Jayme Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 The muscles not working can cause either IC or Retention issues, both have downsides, however Retention has the added issue of kidney problems. Please be careful and speak to your doctor Link to comment

Please be careful and speak to your doctor I called the surgeon’s service and was told if I can void and it’s getting better than I’m fine. Uncomfortable, but fine. Should be normal in a day or two. Diapers are definitely helping as when I am able to go I can do it right then. 2 hours ago, DiaperBoy37 said: I had surgery a couple of years ago on my ankle which unfortunately came back for the second time.

I’m actually scared to take the pain meds the surgeons prescribed, but I am and eating double doses of a fiber supplement. Link to comment
DiaperBoy37 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Shiesh. Either way. Good luck. Link to comment
Alex Bridges Posted April 13, 2019 Author Share Posted April 13, 2019 I’m urinating mostly like normal again, but that’s because the local wore off, and yes, I’ll need the pain meds, and I’m pretty scared of having to use the bathroom later today, but I’ll need to. I was told to take a wash cloth in there with me to bite down on. So maybe I’ll be up to a wiring real chapter later today or tomorrow or not. I have the entire week off, so I’m hoping to be able to write a lot during that time. But for now, as Jamie is often a conduit for my own emotions, here’s just this. Thank you, everyone, for your gentle concern and kind thoughts and prayers. ________________ Intermission ”Manda,” could you come here, please?” Amanda found Jamie leaning against their mom on the sofa while she ran her fingers through his hair. ”Hey, buddy. What’s up?” ”Will you sit with us?” Jamie looked like he didn’t feel well. Nothing was obviously wrong, but he looked tired and uncomfortable and like he was feeling a little sorry for himself. Amanda sat down on Jamie’s other side. “Everything alright?” ”Yeah, I just wanted to be held by my people for a little while.” ”Aww. No need to even ask.” Amanda squeezed herself onto the half of the sofa that remained and laid down so she could put one arm behind Jamie and the other over his lap without his mother having to let go of him. Jamie sighed, sniffled, and a tear occasionally escaped and ran down his cheek. His mom and his sister understood and stayed with him even after he fell asleep. 2 Link to comment
