I had roid surgery about 15 years ago.
Pure hell when the painkillers wore off.
I’m serious when I say your sphincter is involved with every thing your body does.
My wife waited on me hand and foot for awhile until I could shuffle about. Maybe 4 or 5 days.
Roid surgery seems to be in my future again.
My wife is with the Lord now and I’m on my own.
An adventure I’m not looking forward to.
Sorry about your wife, Godspeed with the medical issue. How some seemingly small things can make life so miserable is amazing. Good luck my friend.
