MY Visit to University Hospital in Columbia Missouri

MY TRIP FOR THE MOST PART WAS VERY PRODUCTIVE WHEN
WE GOT THERE ON FEB 17 TO SEE THE DOCTOR IN COLUMBIA
MISSOURI , WELL AFTER BEEING SENT ON THE RIGHT PATH
I WAS PUT TOGETHER WITH A W WONDERFUL DOCTOR WHO IS
1 OF THE TOP REDO SURGONS AND HAS DELT WITH ALOT OF
PEOPLE WITH ADHEASION RELATED PROBLEMS .
DR RAMSHAW WAS WONDERFUL HE LISTENED TO ME AND PUT
ALL MY FEARS AT EASE . WHEN I ARRIVED IN COLUMBIA
I WAS HAVING A EPISODE WHERE I WAS STARTING TO
OBSTRUCT. WHEN THEY DID DO THE SURGERY THEY FOUND
THAT MY SMALL BOWEL ARE LIKE INCASED IN CONCRETE
AND THEY DO NOT LAY RIGHT WHICH EXPLAINS THE CHRONIC
ABDOMIAL THAT I HAVE BEEN HAVING . DR RAMSHAW
FREED THE AREA THAT HE FELT THAT WAS GIVING ME THE
MOST PROBLEMS AND PAIN ,HE ALSO PUT IN A BARRIER
FOR THE NEW ADHEASIONS TO FORM OVER.
I FEEL VERY HOPFUL RIGHT NOW BECAUSE ALL THE
ABDOMIAL PAIN I AM FEELING RIGHT NOW I THINK IS
FROM THE SURGERY SO MAYBE WE CAN HAVE SOME TIME
FREE OF THE CHRONIC PAIN ,BUT IF WE DO HAVE IT
OR IF IT DOES COME BACK DR RAMSHAW SAID THERE
IS MORE THEN ENOUGH DOCUMENTATION FOR THE PAIN
MEDICATIONS AND FOR THE STATE TO LEAVE MY DR
ALONE ABOUT GIVING THEM TO ME .
THE DOWN SIDE TO EVERYTHING AND I THINK I KNEW
IT ALL ALONG BUT REALLY DID NOT WANT TO ADMIT
IT AT. THE STAGE THAT I AM AT THERE IS TOO
MUCH DAMAGE AND THERE IS NO FIXING IT ALL WE
CAN DO IS TAKE EACH DAY AS GOD GIVES IT TO ME
AND MAKE THE BEST OF WHAT I HAVE AND MAYBE I
CAN GIVE BACK SOME OF THE SUPPORT YOU ALL HAVE
GIVEN ME BEFORE I WENT THERE ARE NO WORDS THAT
I CAN SAY THAT WILL EXPRESS HOW YOU MADE ME
FEEL. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MANY YEARS I FELT
ALONE AND THAT NO ONE ELSE UNDERSTOOD WHAT I
WAS GOING THROUGH I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU AND
GOD BLESS YOU ALL
