hello chris,

I hope you will still talk to me, I do worry about you, and care about you. I am confused of what he is going to do for you, I am seeig pcp june 8th, and I want to ask him about seeing one.

Right now things re going so bad with the bowels moving, I spend most of my day trying to mve them, if I dont it hurts really bad, now that laxatives do NOTHING<and the day before I tried to go before I drank tons of prune juice, and it was pencil thin, one stool, and iti hurt bad to getthat out. I am struggling terrible, and if I do not take alot of the juice to go , I have to keep the bowels like water, the only way I getrelief anymore, and my abdomen has been pretty swollen for a few days, but my weight keeps going down, I will hope he refers me to one, cause someone has to tell me more than some of my drs.

do you htink he can help you? I am so tired of hurting, I go bac to pain clinic in a week, all they do is up the meds. Starting to help some, but of course not completely, as she said adhesion pain is hard to treat!

I still care!

Toni
