I have now talked with all of my doctors. The surgeon came up with the most viable Plan B.
The pain and bleeding is caused by a tear in wall of my anus that is aggravated by my bowel movements. The best way to end the pain is to end the BMs, I will have surgery on Wednesday to have a colostomy bag installed. Since I would need one after the main surgery anyway, it makes sense to do it early and end the pain. He also plans on giving me a Botox injection to relax the muscles.

My surgery will be at Providence Portland.
Please pray the surgery goes well and is successful.
