Jayne,

Sorry for taking so long to reply - I'm going to have to check the site more often. I havent had to have any bowel removed yet. If the perferation hadn't healed - I would have had to have had another surgery to resect the bowel - that I doubt I would have survived.

Choosing to have surgery versis not having surgery has to be a personal choice. Not everyones situation is the same. When I chose tohave my last surgery - I was willing to accept death I was in so much pain. But I was not getting any routine pain meds at the time. Now the oxycontin has made my quality of life much better and tolerable. So I'm going to live with this unless and until I obstruct totally and have no choice. I'm praying that never happpens.

My husband loves to ride horses - he tried so hard to get me to ride and I would but he could see the fear in my face. So ride the motercycle with your husband and enjoy!!

Take good care

Tina
