That was the best message I have ever seen about poop! You should be a writer, because your descriptions were brilliant!
I am SO sorry you have had to go through all of this. Of course you feel down, you have been dealing with 2 major medical issues at the same time. Have you thought of contacting a GI doctor or pain management doctor? I know you are getting off the pain meds, but seems to me you still have a lot of pain. There are many options out there for pain and you should not have to suffer or choose between your back or your bowels. No pun intended (initially), but you have to make a big stink with the doctors about this!
As someone who's surgery is coming up, I really appreciate your honesty and advice. Unfortunately you have had to go through this horrible thing, but hopefully your sharing it will prevent others from experiencing it.
Big gentle hug!
