Getting that first poop out of the way is a relief. I found that pooping has been no issue for me. I was pretty focused on taking the meds in the beginning but I’ve laid off recently.
Glad to hear your pain level is manageable. I did not do much at all the first 3 weeks. I’ve moved a lot since yesterday and I’m pretty sore. But it’s manageable.
I hope your recovery and result is everything you hope it will be. Keep the updates coming.
FYI… my doc had me take antibiotic prior to cath removal. Made me fairly nauseous. Not sure if you have to do same but if so, do on a full stomach.
