Holy crap! I am so glad you are all right. Never ignore pain, it's always a sign that something is amiss. Hang in there, recover, and stay well!

Eeeeowww Brok ..  Glad it turned out O.K.  

 You and Laura (5+ years out) have both suffered from the BP limb obstruction (and emergency surgery to fix) in the past year on here  ..  Do they have any idea what causes it to obstruct later on?   Hopefully we won't be seeing much more of these in the future ..

Whew! What an ordeal.  I never thought you would have the vapors...lol.  So glad you are back and appear to be doing fine.

Remember NEVER have the doctor again...what's his name.  He's a loser.  Seriously.  Keep Dr. Inman, she's a winner.

Take care,
Betty

No, we are not tired of hearing about you.  We as SOOO glad you're doing better. 

Sorry to hear that you went thru this.  Think of it this way, you serve a warning to others to listen to the pain. 

Glad to have you back.

Oh, Brok, I'm so glad you're okay.

So, basically, from all the tests they ran on you as a preliminary, THEY DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING?  And it was only after Dr. Inman did EXPLORATORY SURGERY that they found anything wrong???

That is SO scary.  Makes me not have faith in all of the diagnostic tools that are available.  Sheesh.

But we ain't tired of hearing how well you are doing now.  Don't ever scare us like that again. 

You deserve a lot of credit for sharing your story.  I will not ignore any lasting or recurring pain, thanks to your sharing.
