Emergency Surgury;70%of My Stomach Removed,not By Choice... Posted: 02-04-05 19:28pm
Aloha to all,and I feel for all who are in
pain.. My ordeal took place on november
eighth of 04'. I was rushed to the
emergency room suffering from severe
abdominal pain that I fought against for
over two years. The reason I did nothing
about it was that, up till this point the
pain was intense but with an over
abbundance of pride and stubborness, found
that I could learn to handle the pain more
and more. Enter nov.8, for almost forty
minutes I waged my last battle with this
enemy within. Never had I felt pain such
as I was feeling on that day. With no
strength left, I realized that well, I
guess there's no harm in going to the
doctor. That's when I thought,gee, i'd
do that if I could only stand up. There
I was lying on my left side in a fetal
position unable to move. Not even to
lift my head up a little.With the all that
drained from me, I thought oh,well, looks
like early christmas for me. All I had
left was this battle with trying to just
breath. My entire self was frozen and my
entire body was rock solid to the touch.My
breathing, short steady puffs of air I
could count on to survive untill someone
comes home. No one was around that day,
and so for almost forty minutes I just lay
there hungry for ice-pops.
With twelve sheets of catscan pics to
view nothing was evident in black and
white. I had to sign a release form with
consent to do exploritory surgery.
