@lilbear I am so sorry. I guess good news is it will heal and I am sad for you.
I had to process pain by thinking of a ticking clock.
every min closer to healing, every hour, closer to healing, every day closer to healing, every week closer to healing. etc.
During my surgery they had to stop everything to call in a urologist. They had to make sure that he looked at my ureters that scar tissue interfered with.
I was fortunate I had no issues. Eye opening on what scar tissue can do and how repeated episodes of diverticulitis can cause damage.
Hugs!
