Thanks Dawn and NG,
I certainly feel a hell of a lot better now that sucker has been drained. It's also to at least know what the problem was. I was freaking out before just not having any idea.....because I'd seen the crs on Thursday and he sai it was healing well. I guess he didn't take a close enough look cuz it hurt then too.
NG,
Am I to understand that if there is a fistula it is already there and just needs time to manifest itself? I thought they happened when the puss basically bores it way out through an opening in the outer anus? That doesn't seem to be an issue.....all of my drainage stopped over a week ago.
FWIW I did talk to my doctor and he said a fistula is a possibility, but because of the superficiality of my incision site, it wouldn't be that big of a deal.
Regardless, I hope today is the end of it. On the bright side, I think my fissure has healed :-)
