Guest guest Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 She is not on anything - she was on Flagyl for a short while after her bout with pouchitis, but when it ran out the did re prescribe it. She is hospitalized now because of a partial blockage - her second since surgery. The surgeon said it is because of adhesions that were probably created during surgery (unavoidable). Has Bill ever had a blockage? How is he doing? It seems like the only time I have time to get caught up with the group is when Suzanne is hospitalized!

The timing is rotten so I hope she can get back to school quickly. Is Suzanne on a daily antibiotic? Bill has been on one [cipro] ever since the surgery because if he doesn't take it then he gets the pouchitis. I guess if it isn't one thing it is another.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 , It is a good sign I think when you are too busy to be here and you don't need the support. No, pouchitis seems to be our little bug-a-boo and not the adhesions. He lost a lot of weight when he had the mono in March which landed him in the hospital for 4 days. He was sleeping a lot for a couple of months but is now back to a good energy level. He just needs to put some weight back on. I hope Suzanne can get out of the hospital quickly and back to school, all my best.
