I see my GI on Tuesday, hoping to get more sorted about this %$#@! fistula I've developed. To make matters even more fun, I began having a quite targeted pain on Friday whenever I lifted something... Yes, you've guessed it! Now it seems I have hernia! Can it get any better?

Seriously, I am so frustrated and angry and depressed right now. I really feel like throwing the towel in on everything.

Please, do not throw the towel, or anything else....you may hurt yourself!
I really know how bad it can get when it is one thing after another..try to keep as calm as possible...hernias can be repaired through laporoscopy, fistulas can be fixed too...as long as it can be repaired there is hope...you just need some time to heal...and some fun in life...a good laugh or two, a coffee and a giggle with a friend to make you feel 'normal' again...
Stop lifting, pushing, pulling or running around..a hernia can get bigger if you force it even more...so put on a girlde to hold it all together and lay back with a good book or movie...you need some rest...
