Dear Sally,
Thank-You so much for caring about me! I have not been on my computer
since my last posting. I had my exploratory laporotomy on July 17th.By
the grace of God I found this Dr because I was emotionally and
Physically at my bottom! I am doing really well now but it has been such
a long, long road!! The Dr. said I had adhesions all over the left
pelvic and abdominal area. They where all over my intestines and that
is why my bowels wouldn't work. He said I was covered with them and it
took him an hour and a half to cut them down, then he used the Interceed
barrier. I am still a little sore because he didn't use the laproscope,
he had to cut me from hip to hip, which concerns me alittle but he said
he checked for adhesions everywhere and that he got them all! My bowels
are still giving me some problems but I can now go on my own with the
help of just a couple stool softners. But the most important thing is
this week I have been eating REAL food "OH MY GOSH" I did not know how
wonderful food could taste I have been savoring every bite! I had been
drinking Ensure and jello for the last 8 months and I had lost 120lbs in
the last year half. I have not felt this good in so long! I am also
scared that I feel to good! Isn't that crazy! This was my 5th surgery
and I am so afraid that the adhesions will come back I really don't
think I can go through all this again! Anyway enough about me how are
you doing? I sure have missed everyone and I hope everyone is O.K. I
need to do some catching up on things huh! Well Thanks again for being
my friend It is wonderful to know people still care for others!
LOVE YA LOTS!
