So I will end my tenure at my current hospital tomorrow, after staying here for a week on their highest grade of antibiotics and painkillers.
I will be fly to be hospitalized on Tues. at the Mayo Clinic.
I will have major surgery done at the Mayo Clinic on Weds.
Why?
They figured out what was causing me the huge amount of problems for the past few years: three fistulas. But the problem is treating them. All the options are bad, so right now we're going with the option that will yield the best chance for a return to normalcy. Meaning having a diverting illeostomy for a minimum of 6 months.
And yet I know plenty of people who have worse conditions than I.
Let me tell you this: not all hospitals are the same. And hospitals often change from visit to visit depending on their workload and who your nurses are.
Also: beware of nurses in white coats. They fancy themselves doctors and like to act like/pretend to be doctors. They ask a lot of inane questions that you've already answered, and if you haven't answered them yet, telling them to this nurse won't help you. With these nurses, although it is rude, be terse. When they get the hint they will usually leave you alone. But some just don't get the hint and then start giving you advice about your treatment at the hospital which is almost always wrong, unless they got the idea from a doctor.
And even then, don't trust no doctors. Bunch of self absorbed assholes.

I take back every poop joke I've ever made.
Mail that book back.
Good god man I hope you get well and they fix that shit right up.
Oh man, this cocktail of finnigran/ambien/a pain pump is making me take ten minutes to write this post.
I'd type more bit when I am not soooooooooooooooooo loooooooooop
Is this one of those things were you don't go to PAX?
There are three fisutals. Two of which are really bad and hard to get to.
Heck, i'm in the hospital right now becauseof one of the fistulas. Goes from the anus to the left ejactulatory duct.
It's been a realy rough week, took 3 days to manage my pain level
ugh
And risk Stale calling me a pussy? Hell no
between you and stale i don't even feel like i deserve any sympathy at all
I've been dead. As far as hey my heart quit it's job and my brain is taking a break.
Maaaaaan I'm still glad that that was what happened compared to Munkus' butt troubles.
That stuff ain't supposed to come out the front, that's just wrong.
Now you take those fistulas and you don't let them give you any shit. Pun not intended. You give em hell.
i've had an ingrown toenail for like six years
once in a while it even bleeds
they can fix that you know. They jab a hot spike of metal down your toe, clear that right up.
Munkus excluded. Also Fram because he only broke his foot because he was checking on his wife.
He never cried, or even looked like he was in pain
The only time we could tell it even hurt him was when they put him under to set it
He fucking howled but he was passed out and didn't remember a thing
But god a'mighty that was a horrible sound to hear
so does munkus 8-)
but I don't want to be a cyborg
And tunnels are like caves
And caves have treasure!
Hey munkus, can I search your fistulas for buried treasure?
You do realize what treasures you'd come across while spelunking those caverns right?
all the while I took it like a man for six months as poison destroyed my gallbladder
while not knowing what the fuck was wrong until the night my body finally started just shutting down and I got some emergency surgery
fetish
It doesn't stay there.
It just cauterizes shit.
Though you really get good radio reception in your teeth for a while.
they just don't take
Yayyyyy?
but I probably should go. I have a feeling there is so much wrong with me
I have the BEWARE OF JELLIES SIGN now.
(I also have chronic back pain but this is cooler)
Satans..... hints.....
awwwuh, I wanted one of those
stupid shipping fees
and stupid pipe for living so far away
(but I may have testicle lumps! hooray!)
Satans..... hints.....
Maybe you should just break your toes. Teach em you don't fuck around.
That's what I did. Of course it was at the hospital they told me they had been broken wrong and needed to be re-broken. That was fun.
I hear they kept the bed as an exhibit what with finger gouges through solid steel and twisted remains of the metal underside.
which is awesome
when i had my surgery she was all making sure doctors and nurses do the right thing
