Dear Chrissie, Hi and thanks for your message. Doesn't this pain drive you crazy? I think I'm about to loose my head. My abdominal area is so, so swollen that you can't tell the difference between my abdominal and my buttock! I know I have a intestinal blockage and I have been drinking alot of water to see if it helps a little and it has. I do not want to go to the hospital and have those tubes inside and down my stomach any more. I always end up with another surgery. I'm tired of exploratory surgeries. Chrissie, please take care, I hope those nasty adhesions don't come back again and be adhesion-pain-free. I thank you for caring, I will also have you in my prayers. God Bless you. Your new friend, Eileen
