Bowel Obstruction Surgery - Whatttttt?????????????

Nov 30, 2010

So, on 11/17/10, I was wisked away from work, by ambulance, with horrible stomach pain.
I get to the hospital, have a battery of test performed, and it is determined that I have a bowel obstruction.
I have never had pain so severe, other than child birth.
I had the surgery 2 days later, once it was determined that the obstruction would not correct itself.
I felt so much better afterwards, with the exception of the incision site.
I ended up staying in the hospital for a total of 6 1/2 days.
Funny thing is that I was weighed while in the hospital and was up 6 lbs and today I stepped on the scale and was up 8 lbs.  I'm not happy about that, but, it is what it is.
I am just very grateful to be on the road to recovery.
