Toni, Cheer up. LOL. You have a friend in the exact same boat as you are, and it's getting worse. This morning when I tried to go, the stool was so hard, I thought I'd die. I used a Dulcolax suppository, and 3 Tbsp. of Haley's M O. I finally went some, but tonight I have such pain and my stomach feels so hard, and it's awful to even get rid of gas. Probably labor pains wouldn't be this bad, but I'll never know. I have had pain all along. It feels as if something is ready to twist up and burst. I am afraid as to where this is headed. Tomorrow I'm going to try to find someone to see me, because I don't like the way I feel. I still think I'm full of adhesions. I so envy these lucky people who were operated on by Dr. Redan and Dr. Reich. I went to see Dr. Redan 2 days ago, but really to no avail. He spent about 10 minutes with me. I quickly had made a list of questions , but he scanned them, and said I basically reworded them. He looked at the scar and said it looked good. Then he pressed around it. He said it may take up to3 months to heal from a hyst, then maybe he'd take a look. I am so disappointed, because my luck is so rotten. I hurried to get the paperwork and insurance card copies faxed to his office, thinking I'd be lucky enough to get an appointment with him. Now I guess I can go on suffering, and probably end up with more surgery done by God-knows - who. And that scares me even more. Now I have either a sinus infection, or a head cold, probably because my resistance is so low. Everytime I sneeze, it makes things even worse. I am afraid to take anything else, too when I have this kind of pain. Toni, when you've had bowel obstructions, did they find them on regular xrays? When they put in the n.g. tube, were yu vomiting that they had to use it? I am so afraid of that. Ever since the hyst, I have only had 2 days with decent bm's. And one of them was in the hospital. I am extremely resentful towards her because she laughed this off back in early Feb. Around the 8th. She called me her colicky baby. I am spitting mad over it. Now here it's gone on since then, so God knows what's going on inside there. I am honestly ready to give up on life. I don't want to go on like this. I don't want to end up with an ostomy due to that surgery. I have about had it. I didn't get out of bed until 10:30 today because I was awake every hour on the hour, and with constant pain.And it nearly killed me when I tried to go this morning. I have the same feeling tonight, but maybe more so. Millie
