Hey Gracie, I am so glad that you are doing better my little angelette!!

I love that you had that card, it could have saved you!
I also have my info in a document with diagrams saved on a flash drive on my car keys and my husband always had one on his keys too. My Mum has one in the UK too in case I'm ever there and need help.

Love that you're on the mend and am sending you lots of hugs

 So glad this had a happy ending!  What exactly, was the cause of the blockage?  Scar tissue, stricture????

Thanks everyone! My happy ending is all because of what I have learned from all of you on this board. 1 ~ Carry your information. 2 ~ Be persistant and 3 ~ Know what your body is doing.

Blessings to all & Happy Thanksgiving!

Where do I get one of these cards??  I'd pay for one...or 4 if someone has a place I can get them?

Your story should be required reading for ANYONE having a DS - or CONSIDERING one.  They should be able to be certain that they - AND a trusted family member - would be willing and able to argue with an ER doc or general surgeon that they need special diagnostic procedures, WHILE IN PAIN.
