Well I just got home a little while ago. I am very impressed with this doctor! Like I said in my last thread about my first appointment with her, I think she is the only doctor that has actually been on time! Ahead of time for that matter. We were about an hour away from the hospital when she called me. She said they were running ahead of schedule and told me I could come now and they would take me. Well we were still an hour away( we live 2 1/2 hours away) so that didn't really work out, but we(me and my mom) were taken back right when we got there. They asked me a ton of questions, then she went over everything and had me sign all the papers. Then she explained what pre-op meds they gave and told me they give it in my hip. I think that scared me more than anything!:ywow: She told me how she would put a little lidocaine so the IV wont hurt...I asked if she could put that in my hip instead! Haha I'm used to IVs being on remicade, don't remember ever having a shot in my hip!! Well it wasn't that bad. So after they gave me the meds and started the IV, about 25 minutes later they came and rolled me in the operating room.
Well fast forward to now...It was more complicated than expected. Turns out I have a fissure, hemmoroids, AND a fistula. When she was doing the exam, pus started coming out and that's when she discovered it. So they did the botox injections and had to do surgery on the fistula. They cut it open and sutured it. So hopefully that will work. But I guess these 3 problems defiantly explains what has been causing me so much pain these past couple years!!
So I'm home now resting. Not hurting to much right now, she also injected a lot of local to help with the pain for a while, so that's still in effect. After that is worn off, she prescribed me some pain pills. At least I have the weekend to recover and take it easy. I sure pray the worst of the pain is gone by Monday when I have to go back to work.
