I know! To me, it didn't matter where the surgery was, I'd check to make sure all was good, no infection, especially there, since you'd think infection could be more likely. I took what the doctor said as meaning that most people don't or won't look at their spouse's anus.

Of course you would check! When I came out of the hospital 18 months ago, I had major bladder and bowel problems, plus I couldn't reach to clean myself (no twisting or bending for 90 days). My former husband took care of all that for me. It was way more than checking, and it was embarrassing as hell, but, hey, we got through it. If my FORMER could do that, surely anyone's actual spouse could and would at least look!
Okay, so you and I, my Hubby and your ex were or would be willing to check (or do more than check). I'm assuming that posters here would also be willing to take such care of their spouses/SOs.
I can understand your embarrassment. When I had my angiogram, while I know that it was necessary and these four men were medical professionals, yadda yadda yadda, I had NEVER been unclothed like that in front of any man other than Hubby. That was on my mind more, at first at least, than anything that might be found. Then the sedative hit and I was [begin singsong] la la la la la -- snore..... [/end singsong].

Glad to hear it! But I have to ask..... do you have a stent?I'm back and as i expected everything was ok and went fine without complications.. still not crazy about being operated on.
But i did see the kidney stone and i shudder to think how it would have felt if i had to pee it out
A few years ago my dad had bypass surgery. After they moved him to recovery he immediately sat up and pulled out all his chest tubes. They had to rush him back into surgery and open up his chest again to repair the damage. I just found it amazing that they could crack open his chest twice in 24 hours and 2 days later he could be sitting up eating jello with staples holding him together.

Thanks and yes.. i have a new stent inserted to prevent the urinary canal from the kidney to the bladder swelling shut (which would be this nice colic all over again).
It should be removed in about 2 weeks by my urologist if everything checks out but this being me and my luck i got a nasty cold over the weekend and have been coughing like mad yesterday so everything hurts down there from the exertion
Being sick sucks.. though fortunately it's still moderate and not life threatening when i consider what other's have to go through. I'm just a little bit bitchy since an important exam is in about two weeks and this goddamn useless stone the size of a third of a fingernail has set me back quite a bit
My horror story doesn't pertain to me in this case, but my husband; rather. About five years ago *we weren't married yet* he was diagnosed with cancer. During one of his many surgeries to try and rid his body of the illness; the nurse came 'round keeping the people in the waiting room updated on the status of their loved ones. When she came 'round to me, she said that they were having trouble getting the bleeding under control. Of course, that idea brought on the thought of; "Great, if the cancer doesn't kill him; the surgery will." For the next *longest* four hours, I was scared out of my mind that he might just bleed to death. Thank Rassilon that he didn't, otherwise I wouldn't be telling this story.
