Now getting flashes of sharp pain

[XanaDUer2]

Left side. Have a teleheath appmnt Tuesday afternoon. Xrays were normal. I'm beside myself with this. An xray would have shown a tumor? No gas they could see. This has been over a month. Cutting back on dairy. Still hurts.

Sitting here thinking I'll have to go to ER if the pain keeps going. So tired. Stomach not gurgling as much, but I took gasx.

What the fuck is this, is it life threatening, and will they find out what it is? The normal xrays confounded me. Thanks for reading.

1. Could be heart attack? My stepson died at 42 after stomach distress. Get thee to the ER! NOW!

2. I went and they took me in immediately.

There is now an opening next to my belly button.
What a relief that they found and removed a
ruptured sigmoid.
It's not fun and it's not easy but I am relieved.

3. I think ct is next

Again everything looked perfect on xrays. Also, my colonoscopy a few yrs ago was golden. No blood in urine.

Flummoxed

4. That imaging is the right test.

It's so sad that I caused my own problem.

My addiction to mixed nuts became totally obsessive.
Before that it was cheese puffs, which I now realize
turn into intestinal concrete.

5. My diet is bad

I'm trying to improve it. Soy yogurt. Salmon. Lots of water

6. I was not allowed to eat or drink for a long time.

Dragged an IV around for three wks.
Everything in the upper and lower
was allowed to rest and heal.
Changing this bag three times a day
is a pain in the.. oh wait, I don't have that anymore.

7. Oh no!

Gulp.

8. Was not meant to be alarming.

It is what it is and as I said I'm literally relieved.
Good hospital and nurses and surgeon.
I'm a firm believer in, I'm OK you're Ok.

9. I don't trust those CAT scans. And I really think they want you to take tests because they learned it from

the people who make the tests.

10. Self delete

I wish you heal very quickly
