Hi Everyone, I wrote before but did not get any responses.. just as well I suppose.
I am deathly.. like uncontrollable crying scared of what is going to take place next Wednesday. I went to the CRS yesterday and he did a looksy in there and saw that I had some granulation tissue? And since I had an abscess that drained last week.. he thinks I have a fistula. If so it will be a complex one that will most like require a seton. If he gets in there and its not complex like he is thinking.. he will just do a fistulotomy.
Either way.. I am not ok with having gaping holes in my body oozing blood and pus and possible poo coming from the holes. I guess all the horror stories are online and I know setons are fairly common. The unknown is always so scary.
How long will I hurt? How every time I go to the bathroom I was told to squirt water down there whether pee or poop to rinse off and pat dry. Ok so as a lot of you know... softer poo creates more of a mess than firm. How the heck am I going to be able to pat that dry if I cant scoop it off with a wiping motion?
I don't have short term disability at work, so that is another reason I am freaking. I am so beyond upset. I can't even function until next week. I cried myself to sleep at the thought of what is going to happen. I have been on so much antibiotic lately too and I am broke out in a rash (maybe from stress) ... Anyways I am going to my PCP office today and I pray he can give me something to ease this anxiety.
I am beyond scared for a 28 yr old female. Also, what about when I go on my cycle? Keeping that area clean is a full time job when the cycle comes! Oh help me Jesus.
