Jo dear:

I'm sorry, I don't recall the post - maybe it was from before my arrival here? My doctors, however, told me in Dec. that they believe that I successfully dealt with a partial obstruction at home. I took myself off ALL food, and only clear liquids (water) until it passed. I was however seriously admonished about doing this at home - yeah, like we want to run to the hospital every time! I was told that this was too serious to deal with by myself, even though it was probably the same route that they would have taken at the hospital.

Hugs,
