My abdominal fistula gets better and worse but has recently gotten much worse. I really need to have tests run and likely be admitted to the hospital but I don't have time at the moment because I am going out of town in a few days. I plan to go to the doctor as soon as I get back.
The major problem I am having at the moment is that it is constantly and I mean constantly draining D. It is gross and smelly and painful and I can't tell you how much money I've spent on bandages and tape (since as soon as I change the bandage, it is full again).
Does anyone have any ideas on how to dress it, keep it clean, less smelly, less painful, etc. I've even thought about taping a baggy to my stomach lol.
