panproctocolectomy in 11 days

Hi I am having my op on nov 15th at uchl london. I had an emergency ileostomy 18months ago and it changed my life as I had got very Ill very quickly, I have perianal fistulas that are causing me lots of problems and cannot b fixed hence the op. Unfortunately they are going to have open me up but hoping the epidural after is going to help with the pain relief. I live in Hertfordshire and have a little girl of 2.5.
I am pretty anxious and emotional about the op but also looking forward to getting it done and over with as the past 18 months have been hard work.

Hi Rachel and welcome to the family!

Honey, you are going through a really rough time. :hug: You must be nervous about this surge, but let me help point you into the right direction for support. We have a Surgery subforum in the Treatment Forum. Check it out and let them know what's going on and any questions you may have.

I really hope everything goes well for you. Please look after yourself. Will you have someone to care for your kiddos while you're down and out?

I live just outside of Luton. I used to work at Ramada Watford on the A41 Watford Bypass. Although it's now owned by Mercure.

Having a positive attitude makes all the difference!

Yup you did fine. Maybe change the title a little bit so nobody gets confused.

I'm glad your family is planning to help out. You're in good hands, it seems. :)
