Dear Heater, I had surgery in March for a small bowel obstruction,also an emergency. Two weeks later I developed an ileus and was hospitaliaed. A month ago I was hospitalized for an intermittent obstruction. I totally understand your panic. When something so serious and life threatening comes upon you, you can develop that what's next kind of feeling. You could be suffering from post traumatic stress which is very real, and for which there is treatment. I am living the day to day pain with adhesions also. I am scheduled for surgery in Germany in January. I worry about making until then without an obstruction. When was your surgery? One thing I've noticed is it has gotten better with time, I'm not quite as jumpy. But never be afraid to seek help as obstructions can be quite serious. I had diarehea very bad with the ileus I had.

If you ever want to talk please drop me a line, it helps to know you are not alone. A new freind, April
