Survival

 

Just home from surgery.

Up at 3am, did a 2nd enena and surgical scrub shower.  Checked into Royal Jubilee at 6.  Went to sleep at 8.  Woke up at noon.  Home at 2:30.

Dr McPhearson told me just before I went to sleep that he was planning to cut, biopsy, close and cauterize the two open fistulas.  I am in support groups for anal cancer, chrones, short bowel syndrome, colectomies and fistulas.  Plus cecostomy for Luk.  I have never heard of a fistula being cut out and closed.  So that's wild.

He called Eric at 9:30 to say he excised the entire area.  Wow. Yikes.  Holly Cow.  He thought things looked good.  He's put in for urgent results and perhaps in a week.  Finally that I should expect total fecal incontinence for a couple months.  Sob.  

Right this second I am still very frozen and very swollen.  There isn't any pain yet.   Eric picked up meds and popsicles for me.

Time to nap.
