Karla,
Thank you for your info. I will not get surgery again unless I get
blocked. The Internist wanted me to go because she feels that I may be
starting to get blocked. I alternate with diarrhea then am constipated.
I am going to interview the Dr. on what surg. procedure he uses etc...
The last time I went to see the Internist, I felt really bad that day
and I think she got a little concerned. I alternate on feeling good one
day and then the next terrible. I am supposed to go and see the Pain
Dr. in two weeks. Last time I went in, he said he was going to do the
pain blocks the next time. The meds that I am on help a lot but they
make me feel like I am in a fog.(They help the pain a lot but not the
digestive problems) I guess we need to eat low fiber diets which I have
not been doing.
The funny thing is, I still get intimidated when I go see a Dr. I always
feel strong going in and then when I get there I freeze up. I have been
to a lot of arrogant Drs.
I think the good lord sent me to this site. I had been feeling so alone
and frustrated and at times felt like ending it all. My family has been
great support but I know unless you are going through having adhesions,
you don't know how the other person feels. I try not to have a "pity
party" for myself anymore and it makes my days go better.
I can't imagine having as many surgeries as you have had. I have only
had 5 abdominal surg.
Are you feeling better today with your pain?
Pray that when I go see the surgeon next week, I will take charge.
Kelly
