Just letting everybody know how I'm doing

Sep 17, 2010

  This is a secret between who ever read this and me. Its been a month since I last wrote. Thing were going great until the week of Aug 22.

     On Sunday, Aug 22, I started getting abdominal pain around 1am at work. The pain was on my right side that started near my belly button. By 4 or 5am, the pain moved away from my belly button but had increased 10 times. I all most called the Sergeant to call 911 but I was getting off in 2 hours. I stayed at work until 7am in a lot of pain. As long as I did not move, the pain eased little. Every time I would stand or sit down the pain got worse. I could hardly walk.
    I met my husband, who took me to Patient First who thought I had an appendicitis. I went to the local hospital where they did a CAT scan. I had to drink 64oz of this nasty stuff before doing the CAT scan. Well, they could not see my appendicit due to my bowels were inflammed. I was admitted to the hospital for 4 days. While I was there I had a bowel scan done. They said I had partial bowel obstruction or the lower part of my colon twisted.
     This may or may not ever happen again and it could happen to anybody, not just someone who has WLS.

     Labor Day weekend was nice. My parents, daughter, and I went to Kenyon College to visit. We did so much walking but I was up for it, no problems.

Well that is it for now.
