Sorry I'm comfused and just venting

November 4, 2002

Hi, its been a while since I have posted, the last was about me

maybe or maybe not having a hernia. I had a CT and it showed

nothing, and I went into see my surgeon and he said that if and when

I have the pain again to call, so this past Thursday I had the pain,

and it was so bad, my husband called the Drs office and they told

him to take me to the ER so off we go. The blood work started and

they put in an IV (which I hate most of all) and we sat there and

sat there, then they did and X Ray, they said it showed that part of

my intestans weren't working, numb so to speak. Then my surgeon came

down to see me and put me in the hospital. On Fri. the Dr. put the

light down my stomach and seen a stich in my pouch, now I'm 17mos

post op, so I didn't hear anymore about that, then on Sat. they did

an upper GI, and the main (Radi) stood right beside me while I drank

that nasty stuff and watched it all move down my stomach into my

pouch and said that all was moving really well however I have a hole

from my pouch going into my old stomach, the dye was going into it

as well, and he said he didn't think that that was what my Surgeon

wanted it to do, so I thought OK now we are getting somewhere, I'm

not crazy and this is real pain so I asked him are you sure and he

said YES. Well they take me back to my room and I waited and waited,

the test was at 8:30am Sat. morning, didn't hear anything until 2:30

that afternoon, my Surgeons Intern came in said the test showed

nothing, HE SAID IT SHOWED NOTHING, so I told him what the other guy

said and he said that three Drs looked at the test and seen NOTHING,

well if I didn't feel like a fool then I sure do now. I really don't

know what to think, I know that I heard that man right cause I asked

him twice, so I have to go back to my Surgeon the end of the week

and I'm praying that he will tell me that what I heard was right. So

they released me Sat. evening and I told my husband that if I get

those pains again that I would rather suffer at home instead of

those guys making me feel stupid. Sorry for venting so much, but

this has me really upset.

Hope
