The Plug is in

I went to STL on Wednesday and had the plug put in. They used so much sedation that I didn't feel anything and I didn't hurt much after either. I have also been having problems with a blister like thing next to my stoma. I've had it before but it was cased by stitches that didn't disolve like they should. On the way to stl I called my doc's nurse and left a message for them then called again and left a message with the person that answers the main line. Drew then called again while I was getting the plug placed and got to talk to her and she knew nothing about any of the other calls. She did get me in to see another surgain if we could get there by 3:30. They way it worked out was they woke me up fast, got me in a chair, handed me some juice and pushed me out the door to make the other doc before he left for the day. Lets just say I liked him so much I think I may have a new surgan. He thought it looked like something, called a GI doc from across the hall in and she looked at it and they agreed on what it is. They want me to take oral steroids for it but they are worried it will interfer with the healing of the plug so they gave me a cream for now.

Now I am hurting a lot but nothing a pain pill can't solve. The biggest problem is I am still having some drainage but there is a plastic disk that sits on my skin and the drainage is under it so I can't clean it and it is causing irritation. He said I can expect some drainage for awhile but as it heals it should decrease. This is only the second one that he has ever done so it is hard to say exactly how long it will take but we are hopeful that it will work.
