Hey everyone, haven't posted in a while. I just spent almost two weeks in the hospital. I'm still in, as a matter of fact. I have been diagnosed with a nasty fistula that has tunneled out. One tunnel is going up towards my lady parts and the other one tunneled out diagonally from my anus. I just had surgery earlier today and the doctor went in and cleaned out the bottom tunnel as well as examined the fistula, the pouch, and the other tunnel. Wed I will be going in to get another ostomy so there won't be any fecal matter traveling through the pouch or tunnels. After a couple of months, he will go back in and start repairing. I will have the bag for almost a year.I am not very happy about any of this. I had all of the surgeries so that I could live a somewhat normal life and not have to worry about all of the stress of being in and out of the hospital and more surgeries.
