I'm the girl who was feeling "awful." Hard fight, but better now . . .

Thank you to everyone *****sponded to my post. I am sorry I did not respond back. I suffered for 4 days with an "on call" doctor who told me nothing was wrong. I finally talked to my surgeon on 3/19 and he admitted me to the hospital and found I had a bowel blockage. I had a second surgery, but aspirated during surgery. As such, it led to pnemonia (sp?), liver trouble, etc. etc. It landed me in the ICU for 5 days, for a total of 8 days in the hospital (the second time around.) Recovery is slow but I am better now. My surgeon is awesome and everytime something went wrong, he knew and stepped in and helped fix it. Thanks for everyone's posts and concerns!!!!! And remember, you know when you are sick, even if an on call and ER doctor doesn't!!!!

Gosh, you've been through quite an ordeal and have remained so positive. That's terrific! i am glad you are out of the woods now and feeling better. I hope you continue with a speedy recovery. Good luck! , Robin

Jeesh. I can't believe what you've been through. I hope that it's clear sailing from here on in. Take Care~~~

Wow!! I'm so sorry you have been through all that!! Hope you are MUCH better now!! I had pneumonia too but NO second surgery!!! You are very positive! Rita

What a strong, brave woman you are!!! (I know, you didn't really have a choice, but it still counts!!) Stand strong, girl!!!! It's all uphill from here!

I am glad you called your Doc. You will have good success for the rest of your journy... Glad you are feeling better. Mo
