Need to vent as I think my family are fed up with my constant moaning so I thought this would be a good place to come to get it all out.
After a nasty perianal abscess that was surgically drained I was then one of the unfortunate people (only happens to 1 out of 10 according to the surgeon) to go on and develop an anal fistula. These things are evil. I've had to have a massive seton stitch put inside me as the fistula runs directly through my sphincter muscle so would cause incontinence if removed. The site of the wound is raw and constantly wet from not only the liquids coming out of it but also all of the antibacterial gels that I'm having to put on it so it doesnt get infected as it sits literally 1mm from my arsehole! I cant just have a s*t anymore without a 40minute bathroom trip to clean and dress the area to surgical standards!!! I cant sit down and I haven't worked in 3 months. How can something so small cause so much disruption to one person's life. I'm so fed up of it all and no end in sight in the near future. F*k you fistula!!!!! And breathe......
