I did not stay last night and missed some excitement when, apparently, the obstruction resolved.  He feels much better today, but will have laparoscopic surgery tomorrow to see if we can find out what has been causing these episodes (of which this was the most severe). 

Vibes for an uneventful outcome would be appreciated.

~~~Super Vibes for Richard!!~~~

Thank you, DR George!

Oh dear. I've heard a bowel obstruction is one of the most painful things you can have. I'm glad Fr. Richard is doing better. Vibes for his recovery.

I bought a shirt I didn’t really need, but liked.

Is work closed for the holiday?

[bk]

Futzed and finessed and just sent 100 pages to Muse Margaret.

[bk]

I'm gonna not write until later because my dear neighbors to the north are playing music really loud and I can't concentrate with that stuff.

[bk]

So, I guess I don't have to go to the mail place.

[bk]

I guess I just don't have to.

[bk]

I think I'll get a sandwich and fries from Cheesecake Factory - they do a nice chicken salad sandwich there.

[Jane]

Good Morning - I miraculously got the car to the mechanic and made the 2 mile walk home - getting there was miraculous, not the walk LOL.

Anyway, we shall see what we shall see. The weather is nice today, sort of windy as I'm by the bay, but the walk was lovely and I'm thankful it wasn't raining for that reason.

, glad the walk wasn't miraculous.

MORE CAR VIBES!

Yes.

My father had a few blockages as a result of diverticulitis.  The first time he needed surgery, after that they went away before it was necessary.  I am relieved DR Richard did not need surgery for it.

Yes, that surgery is not too pleasant. I know from personal experience.

I think it’s entirely possible there’s scar tissue from a prior (undiagnosed) episode of diverticulitis.  Let’s hope that’s all it is.

I have been prone to painful, debilitating, crying out loud stomach pain.  I have never considered going to the hospital for them.  I believe it when you say it is one of the most painful things you can have.  What I deal with must be a piece of cake in comparison.

[Jane]

What I deal with is also the reason I try to avoid triggers.  The pain always goes into my back which is worse than my stomach.

If that is the case will they remove scar tissue while they are in there?

Sorry

[Jane]

I was pleasantly surprised to find out, during my searches for cancer I fortunately did not have, that I don't have diverticulosis.  Of course I know that can always change.

Yes, that’s the plan.

[Jane]

Good.

[Jane]

The surgery will likely increase his pain but it shouldn't be unbearable.

Let’s move on …
