Hi,
I am having a Barium Enema tomorrow and doing all the prep things today.
I know what they are looking for and I am almost sure they will find a
blockage of some sort. I go back to the GI(he is the one that order the
Barium) Tuesday and then to see the Surgeon on Thursday. I know and my
GI knows that I have adhesion that are causing problems with my
Intestines, constipation and dia. I am hoping that the surgeon will
order the surgery for the following week and that it is NOT just day
surgery. My last surgery was Aug. and it was almost 5 hours long due
to all of the adhesion. It took the Dr almost an hour just to get to my
left ovary. I read the report and on the report it says, Massive
adhesions everywhere. I know that more surgery can and probably will
cause my adhesion, but I can not continue in the pain I am in. My
husband and I have not been able to make love in over 3 months due to
pain, I can not love on my 3 year old like I use to be able to because
of the pain. Since November of 98 I have had 3 surgeries.
Nov. Ovarian suspention/uterus ablation/endo
Mar. Vaginal Hyst with right ovary removed(suspention did not work)
Aug. Recto./cysto/left ovary removed/hernia/excesse
tissue/adhesions(covered)...this surgery was done by a large incision.
So now I am looking at more surgery to "fix" all of the others. But I
really need it because I can not continue this way. I am like alot of
you, thoughts of "ending it", running away, why bother...I have been
through all of them. But I can't let them get me down anymore. So
please feel free to Email me to let me know what I am going through is
not all in my mind, sometimes I feel like I am losing it. Thank you in
advance for your help. Cyn
