Woke up with three feet less of intestines this morning.

Victim? If anything it sounds like he is now more likely to be a customer.


Nippr, I hope you see the humor as our show of love. We all hope you the best.

don't apologize, if he cant stomach our jokes thats his problem.

it was a stretch I know

Thank your doctor! They do stuff like this all the time and it has to seem like they are just taking crap from people all day.

Kidding aside, I'm really glad this played out the way it did. Frankly if you are going to have this problem I can't see a better way for it to play out. No significant symptoms until the last minute (didn't have to suffer a long time), got it treated, now healing with the knowledge it is a condition that isn't likely to come back to get you later.

I've thanked him all right. My personal doctor has made the trip to see me three times already. He's good like that.

Thanks guys for all the nice comments.

Six inches here 5 years ago after mine burst...Wore a bag for 3.5 months then a reversal...Upside is I went from 197 lbs to 155 lbs and have maintained it...I'm glad they were able to avoid the bag...Mine was a ruptured dibertickahoweveryouspellititis...Went sepsis on me....

They saved my life....

 

[Alamo]

Yikes, that's quite a schedule disruption.

Best wishes to mend soon.

There are times when I look in the bowl and could swear there's 3 feet of intestine in there.

 

[hoosierdoc]

Wow, have you had abdominal surgery before or inflammatory bowel disease? Did the surgeon give you an idea “why” it happened?

glad you’re recovering!

 

[nipprdog]

HD, bear with my recollection. He showed me a diagram to dhow how a piece of fat (?) caused two tubes to intertwine, causing a knot (hernia).

Got my stomach tube and cafiter out this morning. Yeah.

Saw my scar. WOW

 

[bwframe]

Yeah, it'd be good to know how to avoid problems like this, if possible.

 

[Nazgul]

Hang in there!! Do what they say.

. For a minute I thought you might be a victim from the "White Van Abduction" thread; you know, organ harvesting and all that!

Rhino may or may not have started a new enterprise while he was in between jobs. NEVER go camping with Rhino.

 

[Usmccookie]

White, I didn't know this was a thing. Good on you for listening to your body. Good luck with recovery!

 

[WebSnyper]

Glad to hear you are on the good side of this. Hoping for a good recovery.

 

[BiscuitsandGravy]

Good to hear Nippr. Get well! Makes me want a pepto just hearing about it.

 

[SpydieSig]

I had a similar situation, turned out to be a nearly burst appendix. I got similar responses about my pain tolerance. Glad you got in in time. Good luck with the recovery!

 

[nipprdog]

My diet has been upgraded. Can now have ice cream, sherbet, juices and pop. Yeah! Also going on short unsupervised walks.
Saw the full scar today. WHOA! Runs from nipple heighth, down my chest, to and around my naval. I've beenbutterflied. Wow

Thanks for the kind comments again. Even though recovery is going well, I'm still going to take this slow.

That upgrade was the best part of the surgery. The liquid diet with just broth was infuriating.

woah! That’s the exact scar I’ve seen on patients who wake up in a bathtub covered in ice and a note taped on them saying they had a kidney harvested! Do you still have both?

Hoping to not see the reply:
"Thanks it helps to know what to look for. I must be ok, both are accounted for, I'm in the bathtub and still have the scar."

We think alike***, then I was wondering about the changes in farts***, maybe faster in time with less velocity?







God speed on your recovery nipp......
