introduction

I am 2 weeks post op and have been slowly getting along, still on pain meds and not able to drive. I got a scare today when I went to the bathroom and when I wiped got a lot of blood. Not really bright but scared me. I didn't have any discharge after the surgery and just have had a few days of brown discharge I think with the stitches coming loose. I can't call the Dr because he is closed today but I have an appt tomorrow with him. I think I will just go lay on the couch the rest of the day.

We're pleased to have you join us and look forward to sharing with you as you heal.

Laying low is a good idea but calling your doctor is also a good idea. There should be an after-hours number or medical answering service to take your call. It would be worth it for peace of mind if nothing else. You're welcome to post a new thread in Post-Op to ask for support and when you feel up to it, browse the Post-Op Page resource for helpful recovery information.

I'm sending best wishes!
