Hope you all have a good weekend! I'm looking forward to having a pain-free vajay some day and being able to sit again. Love to all!

I agree! I am one to talk though, I have a BAD habit on the interwebz of forgetting to go back somewhere and updating (I've always had a crappy memory - worse with my thyroid and *cough age cough* hehehe)

Glad to hear things are on the up swing.

I have troubles with hemorrhoids before surgery, and now as I heal and things get better, I find it is SO Much worse. I'd LOVE a sitz bath, but we rent, and I am paranoid about the tub no matter how well I clean it. YUCK!

So, instead, I use a cloth soaked (and wrung out) in hot water and just sit that on the area, along with heat bags of course.

*gentle hugs* Hope you have a speedy recovery!!

Hi Shady! I bought one of those plastic basin Sitz baths that fits over your toilet. Comes with a bag and hose to refill the basin with hot water when it starts to cool down. Got it at Walgreen's. Walmart has them for cheaper, like 12 or 13 bucks, but I didn't feel like schlepping through a giant Walmo that day. Walgreen's is a block from my house. Give that a try.
I just spray it with bath cleaner and rinse with hot water when I'm done to keep I clean. Its really helping.

PDKeeper,
Oh! Yeah, I think I have heard of them, just *pause for effect* I forget to look. (seriously, I have a sh*t memory. Drives my family nuts!).

JUST put in my phone to have a look next pay day.

Hope they have one. To keep the water hot enough I have to leave it running (with my method) and I HATE leaving the water running, so that would be PERFECT!

Thanks.
