Hello again

Well it has been almost a month since my last post. To be perfectly honest, I have been avoiding having to tell all of you my latest drama. But I started this blog to chronicle my life without a colon and that means sometimes things get, well pretty shity!

February was a big month of firsts for me. First time to get a full blown partial small bowel obstruction then quickly upgraded to an ileus. First time in U of M hospital with my new GI. First time with the dreaded NG tube. So there ya go. Just when I thought things were going good, my luck showed up!

I am going to give you all the little details like how the nurse missed inserting the NG tube into my stomach and threaded it back up and out the other nostril to only then get stuck before riping it out. And how the pain was so bad from the ileus that I wanted to be knocked out and all of the nurses in the ER were convinced that I was taking to many pain meds at home. *I wasn't on any pain meds I just have a high tolerance now due to the 4 surgeries in 2 years bitches!!!  But tonight I don't feel like going into all of that emotional crap! I will update that story another time with a few more miserable details.

It is definitely challenging my endurance and sometimes I just want to give up this J-pouch. But, long sigh, I am still holding high hopes that this will work and my life will return to some sort of normal.
