Three years ago, I had to have a bowel resection. The surgeon also took out some of the adhesions while he was in there. He nicked the bowel and I ended up with peritonitis. So three surgeries later to fix the problem and 2 months in the hospital, I am still having obstructions on a regular basis.
When my life just starts to get normal, I end up back in the hospital and am taken back a few steps. I just want to be normal and keep moving forward. I am tired of being a regular at the hospital. It is bad when they know you by name, you get special treatment, they ask you "where you not just in here", or that I have driven myself to the hospital and checked myself into the ER because I was having an obstruction and no one was there to support me. I am too young for this, and have many more years to live. I can't do this for the next 40+ yrs. Help!
