I had a bowel obstruction

Aug 27, 2009

Well, Yeah the title says it all... I had a bowel obstruction, and it's not fun. I started feeling abdominal pains recently last week and just figured they were cramps from my period, apparently not, my mom told me I should call my surgeons office and I did, they said my surgeon wasn't in and the surgeon who takes over for him is on vacation. Ok fine whatever, i just wanted to know what to do, and this was the receptionist's response, "Well, we don't know whats wrong with you just come in on friday" Like it could wait! so my mom called the hospital where  i had surgery... and she spoke to somebody who had the surgery too and she said "you don't want to wait on something like this, come in right away!" and i did, low and behold i had to wait in ER for over 12 hours which was horrible, then on top of that my surgeon comes in ,  because he was there doing surgeries. and he told me if i ever do a last minute thing like this again, that he won't help me next time, no offense what kind of surgeon says that? not to mention i realized he wasn't available, i wasn't expecting him to come to my rescue and help me out. He had me crying for 3 hours. i was so upset because i felt like i did the wrong thing by coming to get help.... Well my mom came and told my surgeon what i've been going through, thank god too, i don't need to be yelled at for coming for help. Low and behold i had to stay over night, and next morning i got re opened in my laproscopic insicions and had scar tissue taken out that was attaching itself to my bowels,  my surgeon was nicer to me the next day... I just wish he wasn't so harsh on me the first time round. :( but i am glad he helped me out and made me feel better. currently i'm still on bed rest because i'm so weak and tired... but thanks to the surgery i lost 4lbs. and i'm 2 lbs away from entering the 150's. any who that's my update for now...
