I am almost 5 months post takedown and still have some bad afternoons/evenings with lots of bm's and sore bottom. But working full time and enjoying life. It does get better with each passing day, you are still in very early recovery. I agree with others to get your pain meds refilled for sure and stick to a low fiber low residue diet for awhile. If you don't have a bidet clean your tush off after each bm with a squirt bottle with warm water. You can get a portable handheld bidet for 59.00 thru bidetplus.com, I have one at work and one in my car for travels, it really helps. Take care and keep us posted on your recovery.
