Losing tracks of surgery numbers

Okay well tomorrow will be my one year anniversary of going to the ER. I remember this day like it was yesterday. Last year it was a Tuesday and I was off from work except for a 2 hour staff meeting. I remember being really sick Sunday at work and on my day off on Monday. I went to my staff meeting feeling really sick and in a lot of stomach pain. I was in the bathroom more than in the meeting. My co-workers encouraged me to go to the ER because I didn't feel good nor did I look all that great either. I went home and my parents drove me right away.

So I spent the next 3 weeks in the hospital and finally had the surgery that saved my life. I can't believe it's already been a year. I feel like it was just yesterday that I was making life changing decisions. I am preparing for my 6th surgery this upcoming Monday to attempt to fix the fistula AGAIN. I have requested a urogynocologist to come in and assist my surgeon. Between the two of them, they better get this thing fixed.
