This may be gross, so get ready...it's about Stools.

Hi friends. I am 8months postop today (exactly 8 months today) and I have a problem, I think. This morning and yesterday morning when I used the bathroom, the color was a very very dark brown. Almost black, like VERY VERY dark brown. This morning afterwards it hurt...so it wasn't diahreah, it was "normal" consistency. This is just gross! Anyway, about 2hrs ago I went again, and it was the same color, AND it had blood in it. My question is, could I be bleeding on the inside, thus making this color come out? I am not having any pains in my tummy at all...it's like this afternoon I have had a very upset stomach, it's rumbling and growling, but nothing that hurts, at all. (YET-crosses fingers...) Is this normal, or should I be concerned? The blood this afternoon was the first time it's happened, and I really think it was because of pain, because I hurt again after I went this afternoon so maybe some tissue was ripped or something? Thoughts??? Thanks in advance! Sorry for the gross post!
