I'm still not sure whether or not this fistula is going to be functional. I guess they won't really know until it heals more. I'm just trying not to worry about it. It's hard to forget about it when I have to wear a glove on my hand around the house just to keep it warm. I've been in pretty good mood lately. Better than I've been in a while. I even had lunch with an old friend from high school. I'm trying to still live my life, but its hard not to think about it all the time.
