Hemmehroidectomy recovery

Saw a lot of scarey recovery stories on other locked threads and wanted to report my story since its much more encouraging. I had mine last Friday morning. Friday was fine but Saturday the anesthesia was definitely gone. We were leaving to Daytona beach and I had to be wheeled in a wheelchair at the airport and had to lay down at the gates at Dulles and Atlanta connecting flight to Daytona. When we got ther I spent the rest of Saturday and Sunday in bed while family was at the beach. I hadnt had a bowel movement since Thursday. It's the most horrid pain.... I was terrified to push....i drank magnesium citrate on sunday evening around 7 and and cried in bed in pain as my bowls rummbled and by midnight I was standing in the shower with a towel in my mouth to bite down on and weeks worth of bowel movement came out. Ugh....what a relief.... It was painful but you need to push through it knowing it will come out if you have drank a bottle of magnesium citrate. After that the pain was a burning feeling rather than the constipation pain which is much worse. The perceset is what caused the constipation so don't use it....or take milk of magnesium and stool softness with ever perceset pill from the get go....that will make the first poop much easier..... Stay away from perceset and use ibuprofen....the doctors only want you to use antiinflammatories as a last resort bc they cause can in rare cases cause more bleeding...but it's a nessaccary risk.... After the first poop it's all down hill with using e bathroom but burning butt pain and difficulty walking remains....if you decide you have to go with perceset use half doses and drink milk of magnesia with every pill you swallow!!!!!! Most of the Harry stories lead back to perceset and constipation.... I'm surviving and it's worth it because I had repeated hemroid crisis......first pop was at day 2.5 after surgery with magnesium citrate!!!! Stay away from perceset or chase it dose per does from the get go with laxatives or you will regret it.... Good luck....I'm happy at day 3.5!!!!! Sorry about all the spelling errors....
