a rare thing happened and of course it happened to me:(

Hi OH friends,
 I have just gotten home from another stay in the hospital and a second surgery:( 
Thursday night after I ate I was in a lot of pain. I thought I ate to much so I stopped after like 4 baby spoons ful. It didn't let up, so I went to the bathroom to see if I would have a BM, well I did a little but that didn't help. The pain got worse and worse, and I couldn't do anything to stop it. I paced, layed down, walked around.. nothing helped. I was not going to back to the E.R because I had just been there 2 days before and they SUCK. So I endured the pain and in the morning I called my surgeon's office. THey sent me to the outpatient clinic for a upper G.I and after 3 hours they determined I had an obstruction of the small intestines. They got my surgeon to come in and he did the operation. They thought the obstruction was some BM that was supposed to go down but went up, but when Dr.Ross went in there he found that, where he reattaches the intestins.. the surture had broken there as well and about a foot and a half of intestines made themselves inside the other intestines... so you can imagine the pain.

After the surgery I am feeling fine, a little sore from the incisions being opened again but atleast that horrible pain is gone.

Dr. Ross said that what happened to me is extremely rare, and it isn't anything I or he did or didn't do, it is just one of those weird things.... and like everything else in my life.. if it is weird, strange, rare, almost impossible to get.. I'll get it.

Well I am going to lie down again, just wanted to update you all:) 

Hugs

Davina, I'm so sorry that happened you. I'm happy to hear that you are back home now and feeling much better. I pray that you do not have any further complications and things are smooth sailing from here on out. Get lots of rest and take good care of yourself!

Hugs,
Rhonda

((((((Davina)))))))), thank goodness you went in and got the offending bowel straightened out.  Freek things happen once in a while, you have had your share, now let's get back to recovering. 

Take it easy over the next few days, follow instructions and do not hesitate to return to ER or your surgeon if anything else pops up.  I am so glad you stoppped to share.  Things are going to improve.  Hugs

Ohhh Davina! My goodness! Thank God you caught this when you did. I am so glad it is all figured out and repaired, but I am so sorry you had to go through this. My daughter had a similar complication as well. The things our bodies do sometimes is just crazy!

rest well, and be sure to sip sip sip. Don't want dehydration slipping in to make you more miserable. Big Hugs coming your way. Get well soon, and THANK YOU for the update!

Thank you all for your supporting words, hugs and prayers. I feel a little bit better today but am still very scared something will happen again. I am just taking it easy, sipping my water, eating my stage 3 food real carefully and still sleeping a lot. Hopefully I will feel much better in this coming week so I can get some more walking in my day(s).

Thanks again you are a great support for me:) 

Hugs

Hang in there. I know that one one has a setback, the fear of more of them is lurking for quite a while. Try to put yourself in a positive frame of mind and try to believe that this was one setback, and that it is going to be good from here on out. Don't let the fear of something that may not happen, dampen your mood and your journey. It will only make it harder on you. I know.. easier said than done... but just try for your own wellbeing.

We are here for you! Wish there was more I could do to help you. I know youmust be feeling pretty worn out and sore.

Hugs,
Patrece

Hi Davina,

                 Wow what a experience to go through. I am very happy you did the right thing by going in and seeing your doctor.  But please dont hesitate to ever go to ER I know some ER's are awful but not worth going through pain longer then you should or risking your health.  Get plenty of rest heal fast big hugs and know the worst is over.
