Well, had the CRS appt yeterday. The infection that I had at the beginning of the year is gone, but the fissure is still there. it was very well behjaved yesterday, to the pointwhere I hardly felt it, but I know it's not gone, as I am a sore again this morning. The CRS says with all that I have tried so far the only thing left is LIS. He says that it has about at 95% success rate and that in his experience things improve rapidly after the 1st poo. So I'll join the ranks of the LISers soon.
The only problem is that my new place is soooo slow. The appt for the srugery will likely be at the end of April. I don't want to change plaes becasue I finally foudn drs I like, so I will just have to wait. On the bright saide, the scheduler said that this will be a quick surgery so she might be able to queeze me in in March. I'mm keeping ym fingers, and legs, and toes and everything crossed so that this will be the case. Now that I've decided to do this, I just want it done!!
I keep wondering, what if it's healed by the end of April??? I am slowly, slowly getting better. Should I still get the surgery if I am healed or close to it? After these past two years, I'm so afraid of a recurrence, and LIS is the only thing that has been show to decrease recurrences and duration of healing, etc... Your thoughts?????
