Wounded Spirit's Diary

Postby woundedspirit » 03 Sep 2014, 21:50

Thought I would start a diary to help me work through it all.

Misery and Agony

Misery and Agony
These are my Gods now
They delight to wake me
They plot to take me
I'm now their servant so I bow.

Misery and Agony
Relentless thieves that steal my days
They come to rob
They come to rage
Unwelcome guests, they say they'll stay.

Misery and Agony
Hand in hand they like to walk
They're here to stab
They're here to sting
A brutal pair with silent talk.

Misery and Agony
Move on, dwell here no more
They hold on tight
They have no right
Please depart to distant shores.

Thanks! Writing always seems to help. Had a blood free day today and had the pain under control by noon and then was very productive! How I love days like today. Looks like a healing cycle coming which is very welcome after 4 rough days.

I'm glad you feel a healing period has started. Time is long and arduous when things are paining and hurting relentlessly.

Hi Wounded Spirit...you and I have a very very similar backstory. I had a circumferential stricture from a hemorrhoidectomy and two fissures, one posterior, one anterior. I failed every cream, I failed 4x botox, I had LIS which only partly healed one wound. Where are you from? Also, has a surgeon discussed advancement flaps on you in detail? I am wondering how they will heal 2 fissures with advancement flaps. Have they suggested covering each fissure directly with a flap, or leaving them alone and just doing flaps laterally to relieve the scarring?

Hi asdf,
Yes, it sounds like we have similar histories. I am sorry you are suffering the same fate. I am from the midwest. It was a long process finding a colo-rectal surgeon that I felt confident in and comfortable with. But he said for me, it was most important to do as little as possible and still achieve the desired results. He said that I had to be ready for this surgery, I would know when I was ready and that we would discuss the details at that time. There will be several more consultations prior to any surgery to make sure all my concerns are addressed and that I feel I have a full understanding of what will be done. I will be more than happy to share his plan of action as soon as I know. Sorry I don't have more information to share right now!
