That's pretty admirable. I just hate pain. I am such a wimp. As soon as I stopped eatig non-completley soft, non-liquid food, it stopped hurting. I've never liked not feeling well, my theory is because it's something I can't control. Maybe if I could work on controlling my pain I would have less.
I just do it because I know I could easily abuse them, been there done that and figure wait until I have the serious need to use that will likey later lead to my going to abuse them. You did the right thing for sure, you did not abuse. Now show us the hooter!
I was contsipating the first couple of days, mostly from not drinking enough water. After that, I wasn't. I'm havign a tiny bit of withdrawals today. It's a bummber, but what are you going to do?
