What lockdown?

abdominal adhesions (bowel scar tissue fusing and constricting the bowel..


I was just admitted to hospital rather quickly to get two of these dealt with a couple of weeks ago and unfortunately will have to continue to do so every couple of years for the rest of my life :thumbsdown: but I’m alive so

was puking up blood in the ward ( coffee grounds)

Coffee grinds, the very tasty combination of sh!t and blood, an experience that can’t be conveyed properly no matter how you try. Like you that was the final straw to get the to realise something serious was wrong. They got my Mrs at the time to drive me over an hour to the nearest A&E because they didn’t think there was much wrong with me ............ until they found out a third of my bowel was disintegrated/disintegrating.

20 days ICU, 6 weeks before I could walk and 9 months before I was able to go back to work but as I said I’m still here and appreciate it every day because if it wasn’t for the skill of my surgeon I wouldn’t be!!

Glad you are both on the mend

It's certainly character building isn't it ? and definitely adds to lifes rich tapestry

It most definitely is but also removes any dignity and embarrassment about anything in one fowl swoop

On the plus side pushes us rapidly up the vaccine list

Sincere commiserations to 1000rr, a horrifying tale and one which should be posted on the front pages of the media instead of a multitude of criticism and moaning. Best of luck to 1000rr and his family, get well soon.
