Brenda,
I am in so much pain today that I am in tears.
I know that my bowel is not emptying out. Small stool when I do go, then I
feel loose stool which won't move.
Just constant pain and fullness.
Never had anything quite like it.
Yesterday, I had an abdominal xray, which was 'normal.'
I honestly believe that I am heading for a bowel blockage.
I cannot eat more than a few bites. Lost weight. Went from about 125 down to
116, in less than a few weeks.
The Dr. wanted me to see the local gastro, but he's away til the end of the
month.
The others are also on vacation.
I contemplate going to the e.r., but my Dr. said they wouldn't do much there
for me.
She mentioned trying to get me an appointment with a surgeon,tomorrow.
I just cannot take many more days of this.
Is there a gastro in your area?
The others are booked up for the next few weeks.
If I feel too bad, I guess I'll have to go to the e.r.
Millie.
