Anal Fistula recovery time

I had a anal fistula which was operated on 30th Dec and am worried as it still has not healed.  It was laid open therefore I have a hole which i think is getting smaller but am still leaking discharge and it bleeds when I go to the loo.  What is the healing time?  Is this normal?
