I'm not a doctor but it doesn't seem to unusual to still bleed at less than two weeks out. Since your having a bowel movement they must have been able to reconnect everything for you. I'm happy for you, I have to have my rectum and everything else removed. I'm trying to think of the positives like how much T.P. I'll save:) Make sure your not taking any aspirin or aspirin containing products because that will also make you more prone to bleed. Unfortunately, it's kind of like hemorrhoid surgery and that's painful and take time. I would imagine day by day you'll feel better. God speed! Terry
