I have taken care of that before I get or got backed up. I had "movement" this morning..... The obstruction was not about me being constipated, ffs. I thought a symptom of a bowel obstruction was the inability to have a bowel movement or pass gas. Interesting... Hope you are doing ok Prayers for you |

And I have felt better today. My muscles in my torso aren't as sore. I still can't stand up completely erect, though. It pulls on my tummy too much. I've slept in the fetal position. I had to go out this morning - HAD TO - and the drive was a little rough. I felt it in my tummy, the pressure, just from accelerating....and the bumps in the roads.... But I got done what I had to. I got me some organic Pedialyte Wild Berry flavor, boy howdy that's tasty. My appetite is shot. I lost two pounds the first day of the obstruction, and it's three days later now...I will lose 5-10 lbs before this is all over. I don't want to eat food, just no appetite, but I did a cup of chicken broth today and the Pedialyte and water. I'm darn sure I'm hydrated.... Heh, I've taken off work until Tuesday. This one is being a lot to recover from, more than the ones over two years ago...but I'm in great spirits.... My heart to yours.... You never change things by fighting the existing reality.

The surgeon who did the resection in 2018 told me before the surgery that there is most often a tumor involved in the type of BO I was having. There was no tumor....more gratitude. I suppose I'll know soon enough. Docs aren't as busy now, so I probably get a fast appt to do those two procedures. Now that I've made up my mind to do them, the sooner the better. I could chicken out.... I don't want to do them. I'm concerned they're going to tear something, or cut something out and release cancer seeds, or any of the other problems that can occur. It just scares me..... Wow! Sorry to hear this happened. Hope everything goes well for you! Praying too... Living has taught me one thing; nothing is certain...except salvation through Jesus Christ! |

(OP) User ID: 74619032 United States 05/23/2020 01:09 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I've been in this place before (BO, hospital, surgery, etc.). Funny thing is, the last time I was in this ER for all this BO crappola, they did not image my chest. Quoting: cosmicgypsy Now, I've had 4 mgs of morphine, and even I know the chest has so little to do with the small intestine. The CAT Scan tech was cool, though. A patriot and boy howdy, he'd make a kickass GLPer. And believe you me, if I wasn't in such dire shape, I never would've come to a hospital. I tried riding the obstruction out, but almost 20 hrs with it wore me out. The pain, the puking....it just got overwhelming. Anyway, if you have to go to the ER, be prepared to have your chest x-rayed, even if it's a broken foot you have. And please be nice, I've had a really rough day. Didn't get to end of this thread, but I assume they want to exclude colon cancer that has spread. I'm going to a gastro specialist this coming Wednesday to address the obstructions and to get moving on a colonoscopy and endoscopy....but don't think I WANT to do those. I don't. But I have to at this point....although throughout my issues with it, no one has suggested cancer, thankfully....well, actually that's not true.
