:bigwave:Hello everyone! Happy Mothers Day to the Mommies! Okay, I hope that I don't sound like a whiner---and this is not a giant issue since I feel soooo much better since surgery. I am 5 months post op. Wow--how do I word this?! Ummm--where the anus is sewn up feels super tight still. I had a little repair in the bum incision when I was 2 months out from surgery--but it is well above the anus. Is it supposed to feel funky in that area? Everything is very healed--although it gets a little "stingy" at times if I'm hot. Again, don't want to be a complainer--but it feels weird and mildly uncomfy! Other than that--it's great not to feel absolutely horrible and to eat with no pain, blood, etc! By the way--I must ask you Brittys--what is a crisp? A cracker? LOL I'm purely guessing. Thanks to everyone! :hug: Snap
