I just read the entire thread and found that you have had your surgery over a month ago. I hope all is well and that you don't have to have any more surgeries.
One time I save someone's life by applying pressure to his asshole for an hour and a half.
The guy had had hemorrhoid surgery a week before and apparently they had cut an artery or the vein hadn't been sutured properly--who knows?
Anyway I had just completed an EMT course and was doing volunteer work at the ER and we had to go get this guy who said that he was just walking down the street and felt something warm running down his leg. He was shocked to find out that it was blood. Well, we went and got him and took him to Osan Air Base in Korea and discovered that it was pretty serious so they decided to send him to the big Army hospital in Seoul. I had to spend an hour and a half convincing that guy that I wasn't going to let him bleed to death.
After hemorrhoid surgery do you have to go on a special diet? Like-stop eating so that you don't have to shit for awhile? Or a liquid diet? Jello, Ensure, Slim Fast?
I realize that your legal battles may be very stressful, but maybe you can do something to ease the stress of your job, like reassessing your teaching methods, making games out of some of the lessons. Or, if you are only going to be somewhere some day, straying completely from the protocol and asking the students what they want to do that day. (Unless of course you are teaching Algebra)
