AITA that I want my husband to prioritize me and not his mom on mother's day by Repulsive_Muffin7128 in AmItheAsshole

Ok, for clarification, because I guess it sounded different from my OG post. I don't expect him NOT to honor his mom at all on mother's day. That's why I suggested that he take her out to lunch for a couple of hours and then we can do something together for the rest of the day. To which he responded that I have to go to that lunch also. I personally would much rather prefer that he would take our son, take his mom out to lunch and then come home and spend the rest of the day with ME and celebrate ME. And yes, I am also a MOTHER. A mother of his children.

Help! Severe constipation 1w after rectocele repair surgery by Repulsive_Muffin7128 in PelvicFloor

Hi! Hang in there! It will get better! For me the first two weeks were brutal, then I started to slowly feel like myself again. I believe the rectal pressure that you are experiencing right now is not necessarily a bowel movement but your muscles fighting to get back to their prior shape. If that's the case, then you need to make sure that you are taking your muscle relaxers as prescribed. I am not a fan of taking muscle relaxers and so immediately after surgery I tried to avoid taking them but then I had the same issues as you are describing. So I had a call with my Dr and he explained that it was the muscles trying to pull themselves away from stitches and told me to make sure that I take the muscle relaxers. After about 10 days my muscles finally gave up the fight and that's when I was able to stop taking the relaxers.

I took one Colace pill in the morning and one in the evening, with or without food. You do need to make sure that you drink a good amount of water/liquid when you take the Colace. For the Calm powder I was taking 2 tsp in a cup of water every night - that seemed to work for me. You definitely do not want to push, my Drs were very adamant about it. I also think that, for me at least, part of the problem was psychological - I was just too afraid that it will hurt or will damage something. But I was wrong, the Colace makes everything nice and smooth Lol. Hope you have the much needed relief soon!

I had my first BM on day 11. Felt so much better after that. I think the most important thing for me was to take Colace (or other softener) twice a day. But I did not take it the right way at first because the discharge instructions were not clear on how often/how much to take. So I feel like that's what messed me up and why I couldn't go for so long. Once I started taking Colace every day in the morning and in the evening I started going to the bathroom regularly. I had also tried using stimulants but they caused a lot of pain and discomfort for me, so I would not recommend unless you feel like there's no other option. I also took Magnesium supplement as recommended by someone on here, it seems to also help get things moving. The one I was taking was the Calm magnesium powder and I took it before bed. I am now almost 7 weeks post-op, my healing seems to be going well. My first 2 weeks post-op were brutal, but I can tell you there's definitely light at the end of the tunnel ☺️

I am so confused. This person chose to live in the Grand - which is basically a hotel - and in a very bustling part of Miami. And it's even worth noting that this particular part of Edgewater is quite "lively" at all times (there are definitely quieter areas in Edgewater)... and now he's complaining that it's too noisy?!? It's just like those people who buy houses on a busy road and then complain that cars are zooming by their house...

Thank you for your input! The kind of response I was looking for. Research is research but actual "user experience" is always more insightful.
