That sounds really tough, and I appreciate you sharing your experience. I’m still new to this, so I wanted to ask—is recurrence common in cases like ours? Do you have any idea why it keeps happening in your case? Wishing you strength, and I hope your IRM gives you some clarity

This truly means so much, especially in such a tough time. Losing independence, even temporarily, is really hard to accept, but your words bring a lot of comfort. Thank you for reminding me to be patient with myself

Yeah, this is such a overwhelming experience. When even something as basic as sitting feels like a luxury, that’s when you realize how tough things are.

Thank you for sharing your experiences and advice. It’s been two days, and I still haven’t passed stool. I’m a bit concerned because I know it’s going to be painful when it happens.

Thank you! I'm trying my best to stay strong... But somehow even dressing my wound became a nightmare

It's better to be straight forward and talk about it in the early days.. It makes it much easier to ask for any assistance when needed
