My ordeal started in July 07 absess was small and bothersome my primary doctor whom I trust very much directed me immediatly to ER. There I was told the absess located near the anal opening was to small to drain it need to come to a head , ok so I waited by the end of the week it was as large as a closed fist. Pain was unbareable, emergency Doctor had cut and process of draining had started .. I was sent home that day even though at first the Hospital wanted to keep me being a diabetic I felt it was best . for some reason they changed thier mind and sent me home .

within 4 hrs I had a fever of 103 and was feeling quite ill. My Blood Presure was droping and had become dangerously low I had called the Hospital and was told to call 911 . Paramedics arived within 10 min and a local police officer arrived first maybe 3 min. taken to Hospital I was told i was Septic and was in danger of losing my life. after extreme measures and the excellence of the Hospital E R staff. I was brought to a stable level . Days of intervenous and oral Antibiotics anda weeks stay in the hospital.

I was sent a week later To a Colon-Rectal surgeon he was to the point and was very honest in what was to happen for the next few months , a procedure was done and Surgeon placed a seton which permitted draining and It drained for 7 months… Hurray I had finaly had my Fistulatomy 3 days ago and have been experienceing little pain and discomfort koutos to my surgeon he definitly stood my his Honer of being the best Colon-Rectal surgeon in the state as far as Iam concerned Thanks Dr C.R.
