Guest guest Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 , Hang in there and I wish a swift recovery for you! Deep breathe and cough to keep the lungs clear. After abdominal surgery this is important and if not done can cause a fever. I'm sure they have you using an incentive spirameter. I hope you go home soon.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 , I'm sorry to hear you have had so much trouble lately. I've never heard of intussusception - what is it? How did a polyp in your bowel cause fluid in your abdomen? Sending you best wishes on your test results, Nina What they > discovered was intussusception, which is very rarely found in > adults. (SEE!

I just can't seem to be NORMAL) In adults it is always associated with a mass of some sort. They did a resection of about 3 inches of my bowel and found a polyp. We are waiting for the pathology results. Hi (I'm Meghan 'with an h'). I'm sorry to hear how things went, but glad to know they got to the root of the problem. I hope the pathology comes back clear for you. My husband had colon cancer when he was 24 (a genetic condition that causes it 'early') and I just wanted you to know (on the off-chance you get news that frightens you) that he's doing fantastic now, 11yrs later. Also, I could relate 100% to your 'different' and 'can't seem to be normal' comments. We share that as well as our name. ) My husband, son, and I have all had (or have) " things " that are just not exactly normal --or rather are not typical, uncommon. I know that feeling. I'll be looking for a post with your results and how you're doing. I hope you get the blessed calm of 'nothing' for results (that's what dh, Russ and I always want --'nothing' results, or boring-health, lol..wouldnt that be great). > The good news is that I am still here, still pretty much ok, and still marching on. And, you seem like a very positive, upbeat kind of person; that's good news, too. ) Take care Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 , One of the consistent frustrations that I feel with my daughter's diseases is that her symptoms, blood work, biopsies, etc. all come up " different " that they are use to seeing. When I took Suzanne to the Mayo clinic they said that they are seeing a pattern of a different type of IBD when associated with PSC. It seems to me that PSC throws an abnormal wrench into everything. Hang in there ...
