i have had at least 25 surgeries, with 10 of them being in the last 2
years...all my surgeons are in salt lake city. 10 hour drive, so with bowel
obstructions i get flown to slc via medical airplane. i am pretty much down
to drinking boost and low fiber ensure to survive. when i do eat i hurt and
at leas once a month have to go to the hospital for ng tubes and
decom-pression. makes it hard to work full time...im a nurse...lol! so if
i stick to liquids i do better but i love food and love to cook. its a
cruel joke. but im better overall than i was 2 years ago so for that im
thankful. it is helpful to talk to others as there are NO support groups in
the area for this. thanks

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.
