Hi nikkixx, I know what you are going through. It will get better. It took me about six weeks to be able to sit without discomfort but the soreness does go away.My staples were the dissolving kind. Didn't have to be removed. Good luck with your recovery Donna

Hi Nikkixx speedy recovery i know its all soreness and pain but in the long run you will be better having had the rectum out. Do you have a air cushion there wonderful things to sit on,i had one couldnt have done without it.. chin up you will soon be back to doing activities.. tc ambies...

Get one of those cushions to sit on it will help. Sorta shaped like a small toilet seat. I have been assless for 4 years. I can wear my underwear for days with no skid marks.. wwwhhhheeee!

Like alot of people i know it's strange waking up with staples holding you together and with your arse crack stitched together, but it's only a few months of pain and discomfort but when your fully recovered you get a feeling of comfort and confidence. It's a real relief for the rest of your life if all goes well. Take your time and don't try to rush recovery get some dvd box sets and try make the best of the situation. If you haven't already seen it i'd recomend Blue Planet on dvd.

Boy, I can sure relate to the "SO Bored of TV part" I have been a big TV watcher in over 20 yrs. I went thru 4 surgeries total (last being 7 yrs ago). and my method of quick recover was walk till i was tired -take a nap -then get up and walk again. After getting my rectum out (finally :p ) in my final surgery -they told me not to drive for a week -I was driving in 3 days! LOL and without a cushion. still 7 yrs later now I still get phantom pains once in a great while which boggles my mind
