HI I"M BACk!
What a winter and spring, summer I have had, but I am finally on top of the world feeling sooo much better. I had a bad so I thought depression from back pain winter, had two pain procedures for my back, I get the nerves burnt in my spine every six months. and thought well that I must of been having pain and depression from that.  until it increased so bad I couldnt lie down.  when I would lie down my pain increased.  after many tests  I had my gall bladder out, pain they thought from gallstones. well I did feel a bit better for a couple weeks, then all summer I just had no energy and struggled to do daily things, then once again the pain increased and increased and had that bad sharp pain that was in my back around to my stomach, I had to go to the emergency room twice as the pain was so bad I was sweating and vomiting.  And I was on pain meds for my back that were not making a dent. so dr. T sent me for more tests and  couldnt see well but thought I had an small bowel blockage, internal hernia, he couldnt see it from the tests for sure but  ruled out all others, so asked to do exploritory surgery, aug 3rd,  sure enough thats what it was, my small intestines were twisted, adhesions were all around and sticking so my intestines couldnt contract.. and he untangled me and cleaned up the adhesions and can I tell you what WOW I feel the best ever!. (besides my back issues superior faucets disease bone on bone)   I am my old self again, I have my energy back, my creativity is back, and all that time I thought oh its just depression every one goes through a loss of food lifestyle changes da da da . NOPE this  was so much more..I really kept up with my gut, literally as it was telling me with all the pain something was really wrong, I didnt have different colored stools, I wasnt severly constipated or any of the things that come along with that all, just felt horrible, had night time pain and no energy.  all the other tests could not see this last issue, in fact I was dr. T first one, then two weeks later I went in for my follow up there was a gal having same symptoms as I and turns out she had the same thing that couldnt be seen.. so just want to share that with you all.  because I had a really long summer that  may of been avoided.. I feel so good now! 
         Miss you all!
fill me in on everyone!
Blessings
