I currently have an entrocutaneous fistula draining from my former surgical wound, a remnant of my Stoma reversal surgery that I had back in February. It has been healing really well since appearing in April and my surgeon is really happy with how things are going. I've only had a dressing over it for ages and just a small amount of yellowish output.
However, yesterday evening I suddenly had a load of gas come out of it and lots of brown output with what looked like some bits of food in it.
I've put a little Stoma bag over it for now as it was leaking through the dressings I use. My surgeon is on holiday this week (typical eh?) and I'm waiting for a phone call from the surgeon he left in charge of his patients. I don't suppose there's anything they can do about it, I just feel gutted that I've taken a step backwards after finally making some progress in getting better.
