Thanks to you and Clare - that helps a bit - the reports are so confusing, and YES it does mean I picked up my reports today from the hospital - sure was shocked at a few things, apparantly the cyst he removed was complex and also hemmoragic. His surgical report also said I had "several" internal hernias - this was never mentioned to me either. I also saw that several days post op, as I continued to worsen, I had several xrays/scans that list my condition as "asphyxia", and also "hypoxia" and then "pneumonia". I was so out of it that week i sure don't remember much, but these things were never mentioned to my husband. He DOES mention however in his cover report that I was having "delusions" during my hospital stay = and of course, sent copies to all my previous doctors - I could scream!!!

Adhesions are listed as the cause of all my problems, and states they had regrown at a previous surgical site as well, which was how my small intestine got strangulated.

Havnent talked to your doc yet brokenwing, still working on the insurance thing at this point.

Thanks again for the help and support.
