Well, I didn't have to go to the clinic yesterday! Felt like a holiday after 30 straight days in a row.
Dr now says every other day, which means the next one will be Christmas day! Some present.
Anyway, I thought I was in for a routine repacking of the wound today but he surprised me (again) by changing the thread ... without any warning! He does that. So another teeth-sucking moment and now it's thread seven. This time after only two days.
He had a word after and said that the large haemorrhoid has shown its head again - literally - and will be an ongoing issue that needs to be addressed. He can remove it but it might slow things down a little re the fistula. It would also need another op under anaesthetic.
I've to give it all some thought and get back to him in the New Year when he's back from his vacation.
On a positive note, the partial fistulotomy - done way back at the start - is healing well. Still slightly pink and a little loss of muscle tone but otherwise fine.
