I thought you were told you would be getting out tonight, has that been changed ?

I hoped you would pick me up from the airport and we could go for a few pints of Guinness, MMMmmmmmmm Guinness and a red hot Ruby Murray.

Hope it all goes well anyway and I will see you over the weekend at some time.

OK, been done and feeling pretty good (shed loads of morphine).

Already managed outside for a smoke.

In for the night. Expect to get home the morn.

Murray - Steph has a direct number for me.

Cheers,

Eric

p.s. - Steve, pretty sure Murray's home tonight.

I expect Eric will respond later today (when he gets up) but just for those interested I met Eric for a small refreshment last night, he seemed in good humour, if walking a little slowly and awkwardly



Eric, get yourself properly sorted out this time mate !

Cheers folks

Feeling ok if a wee bit sore. I'm sure I'll be brand new after a couple of days off work and some quality daytime TV.

I've got a wire in my arse!!!

Murray, further to our discussion last night, I found the technical term ...


Deeper fistulasif the internal opening is deeper inside then it is often best not to cut the anal sphincter muscle so different strategies can be used. The part of the track away from the muscle can still be laid open, however. Next we often place a seton. A seton is a piece of suture material or a rubber sling that can be passed from the skin opening along the line of the fistula, through the internal opening and out through the anus. It is then tied to form a loop that can stay in place for some weeks or months. Most people find a seton fairly comfortable – you can go to the toilet and wash normally quite safely. A loose seton is most commonly used. This acts as a wick to promote drainage of any infected material and allows the fistula track to heal gradually around the seton leaving mature scar tissue. This is often the first part of treatment requiring several stages.

If by thread you mean the suture material, I do not want to follow it

Didn't get much further than that for fear of
