"I was in hospital for about four days and afterwards I was shocked by the amount of pain I suffered. It took me more than two weeks to recover."
"…but then the problem recurred and became worse. Each time I went to the loo I would lose an enormous amount of blood. I'm a fit person, I play hockey, ski and go to the gym, but I got to the point where I was so exhausted I had to lie down after going upstairs. I couldn't work and I became dangerously anaemic with a red blood cell count of four. Over a seven-month period I was admitted to hospital nine times for emergency blood transfusions. My husband had to virtually carry me in to hospital because I was so weak."
"My husband became angry that nothing was being done and saw my GP. I was referred to another consultant. He tried one more outpatient procedure but when I began to bleed again he admitted me straight away. I had a new operation called PPH (Procedure for Prolapse & Haemorrhoids) using a stapling technique and there was no comparison to the previous one. I had the operation the day before Christmas Eve, went home the next day, and cooked the dinner on Christmas Day. The pain was minimal. At the end of January I went off on a skiing holiday."
"The second surgery was a complete success and I haven't looked back."
