Subject: Take Back Your Life
I am no different than many of you here. I have a complex surgical history
since 1976, 13 abdominal surgeries, last one was Christmas '94, small bowel
obstruction. I am an 80% disabled female veteran because of all this mess.
As of 2004 I have a small bowel-large bowel communicating fistula due to the
adhesions. Treatment, double bowel resection. I also have frozen bowel
dueto massive adhesions and small bowel obstruction, I am 47.
NO surgery for me. Surgery is a temporary solution to a long term problem.
It took me awhile to get out of this, "Make it go away" and I obsessed about
this and made my disease my life and did more harm to myself. I opted for
surgery every time, what a mistake.
Over the last decade, I took control back over this disease which I co-exist
with. I am living with adhesive disease not dying from it.
NO Doctor in their right mind would touch us unless they had no choice
[ie-total obstruction etc].
