Emergency Surgery

Mar 18, 2011

Well, i just got home from having emergency surgery.  As of this past Sunday i thought that i had the flu.  (I was wrong)  i went to my family doctor on Thursday because i know a flu does not last this long.  so as my doctor is feeling my stomach he hits a sore spot.  and he said " i dont think its the flu, you better get down to emerg"  so i go and i am there for hours before i am seen.  and then the emerg doctor tells me that he is giving my care over to Dr. Starr just to be on the safe side.  Dr. Starr was really nice and he said that it would be a good idea to do a scope and see whats happening.  i said ok since i wanted to make sure everything is going to go ok before i go on my trip in 9 days.  when i woke up i found out that i had a partially twisted bowel and 2 hernias in my intestines.  Everything was fixed and i am at home now just resting.  i now have 3 new holes in my stomach that i can now play connect the dots.  Dr, Starr is not my original surgeon,  but i liked him.  he came to see me this morning at 8:15.  He said that he spoke to Dr. Sohi first thing this morning to tell him what had happened.  i told him " it still is first thing this morning since its so early"  i was just glad that i was able to go home today, i think everyone heals better at home.
