Jeanette,
Your story is way too familiar to me. My last surgery was June 28, 2006 for
ovarian cysts. Of course while the surgeon was in there she found my bowels
were attached to the abdominal wall so she resected about two inches of the
bowels. I never recovered from that surgery so I've been off work almost
two years now. I take senakot laxatives twice a day and the miralax twice a
day too. All my bowel movements are painful too almost like being in
labor. I know I have an obstruction right now, I haven't been able to have
a BM now for 8 days. I too have a lawyer working on SSI and no we are
waiting to get a date to go before a judge. I am at the ropes end here, I'm
so sick of being sick all the time. My family really doesn't understand
what I'm going through at all. I've been fighting adhesions for the last 20
years. If I had the money I would either go to Germany or where ever Dr.
Redan is at. If it wasn't for my two daughters, (19 and 16) I more than
likely would not be here. It's so hard to keep going when you don't have a
life because of the constant pain. I was just told a little more than a week
ago that my liver enzymes are too high. None of the surgeons here in
Stillwater, Minnesota believe that adhesions cause pain. I'm not sure I
would want any of them to cut me open again so if I ever come into money I
would definitely go see Dr. Redan. I hope they find a cure one day soon, I
would really hate for my kids to ever have to go through this. Thank You
everyone for letting me vent a little.
Wendy
