Brian took me to see Dr. Finne today. He ordered another CT scan because things had changed ( abscess broke and drained). He said that I will require surgery to get rid of all the diseased tissues and infection.
He tentatively told the scheduler to fit me in in 3-4 weeks. I have not heard from her yet and wonder if Dr. Finne is waiting to see how things look before making that call. He explained the procedure and it is a very
serious operation that requires great skill. He told me that I could be looking at having to wear a colostomy from 6-12 months because of the location of the abscess. Once the bowels heal they would go back in and reconnect the remaining part of the colon to the rectal area. His greatest concern is that there might not be enough good tissue left in the rectal area to be able to reattach the colon. i REALLY DON'T WANT TO THINK ABOUT THAT! i WANT TO FOCUS ON THE FACT THAT GOD IS A GOD OF MIRACLES AND BLESSES LIVES EVERY DAY! (Sorry about the cap lock) Well maybe not- that is a good thing to emphasize. I'm going to pray that God will grant me a miracle of healing so that all goes well.
