Tomorrow is my surgical appointment. Although I already know what he is going to say, given the constant leakage, pain, and the recurrence of the fistula -- and although I am logically looking forward to the perm ileo at this point -- I am very nervous. Having an extremely difficult time playing this down for the fam today; I just feel like hiding and crying.

Even with all the problems, I am going to mourn the loss of my pouch; it was sooooo good to me before the fistulas began. And the thought of another major surgery just makes me want to scream.

Wah.

Well, it is definitely official. Fistula must be low and fairly large because she (regular surgeon's partner) could feel it. Yay.

Team meeting to discuss; I will speak with my surgeon again on Tuesday for the plan.

Thanks for all the good thoughts.

I hope this all goes well. I know what you mean about crying. Nothing wrong with crying....close the bedroom or bathroom door and let it out!
