Another bowel obstruction
I am trying to catch up on the posts again, I was just discharged from the hospital with another small bowel obstruction. It was the first one since my colostomy surgery in Jan, but it it was about the 5th or 6th one since I started with this terrible illness. Oh well, it is good to be home and it will be nice to sleep in my own bed tonite.
I continue to pray for you all and have added the people affected by Hurricane Katrina to my list.

Hey Maureen!!! Sorry to hear of your troubles. I haven't had an obstuction yet. (knock on wood). I go in mid-sept for all my one year tests and first colonoscopy with the ostomy. Sweating that but once I go through it the first time the next time will be a breeze. Right??!??!

Hiya Maureen. Good to hear you are out of hospital. My initial surgery after dx was based on a 2/3 bowel obstruction and I gotta say the pain and stomach cramps were no fun. Lets hope thats all behind you now!nanuk said:Hi MO: Dothey have you on stool softeners? I know these little capsules kept me out of the hospital a few times....bud
