Dr. Reda said I was a good candidate. But, he hadn't seen all of the hemorrhoidal tissue. Turns out i had advanced Hemorrhoidal disease, stage 4 or worse, if possible. Anyway, he had to do some ligation of the hemorrhoids as well as the dearterialization. Now, the ony way to get out of outpatient waiting, after that surgery is you have to pee. Well, it took lots of fluids, orally and intravenously, and 7 hours later I peed. Throughout that 7 hours, wanting badly to leave to eat and sleep in my own bed, i went to the bathroom, and vainly expressed my bladder, squeezing and Kegelling, and whatever I could to get urine out. What not to do after hemorrhoid surgery, do not spend lots of time expressing and Kegelling you bladder. Cause what may happne, and what DID happen to me is a bladder spasm. When i finally urinated, it was a little bit, and i continually felt like i had to go. Kind of like a urinary infection. But it wasn't. All I could do was pee a little at a time, and every 5 minutes. That's how I spent my first night at home, with my penis hanging in hole cut inthe side of an empty water jug, so I didn't have to get up to pee every 5 minutes. This was the worst night for trying to sleep. Saturday morning, i called the doctor. He said, "oh, you just need to go to an emergency room and get a catheter, to reset your bladder." I had left the prescription for Vicodyn at the hospital, and asked the doctor if i could just take ibuprofen for pain. He said yes. So, later in the morning, i went to an emergency room, a local hospital, WInter Haven. I now refer to it as the Butcher SHop. I was in that emergecny room for 6 hours. The ER Doc NEVER came in to ask me anything. THe 6th hour, a nurse came in with a catheter kit, the kind with a bag for you to carry around. I said, no, that is not what I'm supposed to get. If the doctor would have even seen me, I could be on my way home. But no, i ranted, "I spent 6 hours in this place, and you did NOTHING!" I was furious, and no better than when i got there. After demanding my $40 back, I left, went home and tried some relaxation meditation for a while. I soon realized this was not oging to make the urination thing get better. FInally I packed up, and headed back to the hospital where I had the surgery. The ER doc saw me within 30 minutes. I had what I call a "Drain and Go" catheter shoved up my urethra within about an hour of arriving. 15 minutes and 600ml of urine later, I felt MUCH better!! THank you Celebration Health ER! Now, I was finally able to go home, and get some sleep. My rear still hurt, but at least i could pee normally. I worked from home Monday and Tuesday. Went in to work Wednseday, Thursday and Friday. Thursday was the worst morning, but after you get moving around, and warmed up, it gets better. So, do Kegels and try to use your ass. It will help you get better, and warmed up faster. That Friday, a week after surgery was the best morning. HOwever, I noticed i didn't get a lot better with warming up. Turns out, the only hemorrhoid left to bother me started to flare up Friday, and continued throughout the weekend. Saturday I couldn't sit, Sunday and Monday there were no comfortable positions. I didn't relaize until Monday that it was an external hemorrhoid. I thought it was some other complication. Went to see the doctor Tuesday. My rear-end was healing nicely, except for the external hemorrhoid that was causing all the pain. He gave me a prescription for the pain, and sent me off. I was back at work again on Wednesday. THursday I felt well enough to go back to the gym. Friday, i relaxed, and did some chores around the house. Saturday, Feb. 14th, I went with friends to the Knights of Sant Y'ago night parade in Ybor City. We got a hotel room nearby, drank, waved and yelled for beads, drank, got beaded, kissed and flashed, and had a great time!! Got home Sunday night the 15th. Went to work today, like nothing had ever happened. Went to the gym tonight, did my normal 60 minutes on the Matrix. It was great. I'm feeling terriffic, AND the best thing is, Now, after a Bowel Movement, i don't have a handful of hemorrhoidal tissue prolapsing out of my anus. I have a normal ass now, after 23 years of letting the problem get worse and worse. THD is the way to go. Do it now. YOu don't want the advanced problem, cause that's just horrible to deal with.

It is non-invasive, pain-free, and I should be back to work by Monday. Best of all, the discomfort and pain, and blood loss i've been experiencing, (getting worse over 20 years) will finally be gone. From several papers i've read on-line, the piles start to shrink immediately after the arteries are tied off. I'll respond next week to let you know how things are looking.
