Been a rough couple days. Really hoping things calm down a bit so I can be around a bit more.
CW: Bottom surgery talk, cycle talk, and talk of emotions
Been having a pretty severe issue with my GI tract this week. Not gonna get into it, but I’m starting to become concerned. I’m hoping it’s not a severe complication.On top of those physical problems, it’s been a rough week emotionally. Bring cooped up and unable to do things for myself is starting to affect me. I just wanna make some breakfast for myself. Gimme like 20 minutes to make a nice bowl of zosui damn it.
Also I slammed directly into my cycle tonight, so that’s going to make matters even worse. It seems it is going to heavily affect my emotions this time around as my brain is attempting to make me cry heavily every time I think of anything that triggers nostalgia or childhood memories. Which is more or less where my only remaining dysphoria lies. Things I can’t fix. Well, hopefully I escape the cramps unlike how I didn’t during the days immediately post-op. Feeling strong cramps right after you’ve had major surgery is actually a nightmare.
Coupled with some external problems and I’m just exhausted emotionally. I didn’t think post-op would be so taxing in the mind, but just the body. Can’t wait to be healed.
Re GI depending on what it is you can get a fix over the counter. Opioids (very common post surgical pain control) can make you constipated and just mess up your intestines down there, drink water, maybe some PEG or dulcolax, and you should be okay. A fistula is also a concern but treatable, I don't think that's what you were complaining about though.
Somehow it’s none of these. I’m actually thinking I have my one surgeon stumped on this and that has me concerned.
Probably TMI and gross af
It’s long periods of constipation interrupted by diarrhea consisting almost solely of intestinal mucous. I get minimal solid matter out and can feel it due to my heavily decreased appetite and bloating. Today was my first semi-normal bowel movement in over a week.It's possibly an ileus, which is a serious thing (your surgeon probably already considered it). You can prevent ileus by moving around early after surgery (early mobilization, that's why they get you to walk really soon). But if it is a bowel obstruction like that there's really only one way to treat it - get a doc to check you out.
It's silly, but are you still farting? If not I'd go talk to a doc. Ileus stops you from farting lol. The mucous could be from it too and it's possible for diarrhea to pass an obstruction or for you to only have a partial obstruction - even a real hardcore impaction and constipation can lead to diarrhea, it just flows around the best it can.
Not sure honestly. Though honestly my nothing must’ve helped or something cause everything started to move once again the day after I posted that. It’s still not perfect, but it’s better than nothing. Thank the gods it’s not that. But for fun, not much of anything was happening then. I actually took a gas-x and it made things actively worse.
