My fistulotomy - two months on…
by: Fran on Mon, Aug 25 2008

I posted here in June after my fistulotomy I said I’d report back, so here I am. The surgery has been a great success to date. It took about six weeks for the incision to close over (twice daily salt/sitz baths are a must!), but since then, it’s been great - so great I don’t even think about it any more, and it was always somewhere in my mind previously. So, who knows what the future holds, but for now, life’s good. It’s a scary business, but for those of you still in the throes of the awful impact this has on your life, hang in there… Cheers from Oz

My abscess was very painful. I passed two kidney stones in my mid 20s. They did not compare to the feeling of being ripped in half while sneezing. [more..]
