I have a fissure from a bad bout of constipation that isn't healing and I am now scheduled for surgery. The surgeon wants to use general anesthesia. Have any fellow PALS had any experience with general anesthesia and suggestions?
The surgeon also suggested that I might want to do a colostomy at the same time as the surgery weakens the involuntary sphincter and the voluntary ones weaken with ALS. I am trying to decide if this is something I should do. Thoughts from fellow PALS and caregivers? I am thinking that ad the disease progresses this might be easier in the long run.
