Lesa, How ignorant am I? I never knew adhesions could grow so quickly. Are you doing okay now? When you say "nicked" your bowel, is that common? That's what we are so concerned about because his temperature spiked and he got so bloated. The doctor said it was "just adhesions". When they went in the first time they removed my brother's appendix "because they were there, might as well take them out anyway." But while in the operating room being prepped, my brother said two nurses were talking about his appendix, but he couldn't understand them. So we're still at a loss. This message board has been a tremendous help and I thank you all for responding. I'm saddened you all had to go through any of what my brother has gone through. God bless and thank you for responding. Jane
