I had trouble wiping from the swelling and pain. My husband was a trooper... he only had to wipe the backside once for me in the hospital. I had trouble wiping the front but managed it myself. My husband also gave me a sipository in the hospital. Also when I was having gas pains i would lay on my stomach and my husband would do karate chop massages on my back to help me pass gas lol. He was surprisingly very helpful. I think he started to get sad when I was able to do stuff on my own because he liked feeling helpful.

Have you been passing gas? My pain left a lot when I got all that gas out. They threatened an enema, mine wasn't going anywhere and you probably are swollen...but gas release will help that.
