Dear Julie:
I have only had one surgery to resect my colon. I nearly died from the
peritonitis I developed as a result of the ruptured colon which went
undiagnosed for 7 hours while I waited in the ER. I have avoided having any
adhesions removed because I am absolutely scared to go under the knife
again.
