If you can no longer do your job then retire.

Like the rest of us must do.

Yow! But they reconnected you? Cool, I didn’t know that could be done. I have moderate divers. Lucky for me I don’t have much trouble from it.

The whole thing took me by surprise. I hadn’t had any symptoms at all. I had just started an antibiotic for a urinary tract infection, and 2 hours after taking the first pill I started having really bad pains in my left side. They went away after a while, and I had some supper that night. Took the second pill, and again, after 2 hours, the pains began again...but they were a whole lot worse. I went to bed, tossed and turned because of the pain. About midnight I started feeling sick to my stomach, went into the bathroom, and threw up my supper. I felt better after that, and eventually fell asleep. I figured I was having a bad reaction to the antibiotic. Called the Urologist the next day to let them know, and they were going to order me another antibiotic. The pain in my side had stopped. I only had a bit of tenderness in the lower part of my stomach area. The next day was a Wednesday, and the tenderness was still there but no bad pains. I hadn’t bothered picking up the new script either. About 2 a.m. on Thursday morning, I woke up and lay in bed thinking: What if it’s more than just a reaction to medication? I live a short way from the hospital, and decided to get dressed and head to the emergency room just to have it checked out. I figured if it was only a medicine reaction, I’d be back home in a couple of hours. They did a CT scan with contrast, and the next thing I know a doctor comes in to tell me I have a perforated bowel, and they were calling in a surgeon to perform a temporary colostomy on me. I was in the hospital for 7 days. The reversal was 3 months later. About a year later, I developed a large incisional hernia where the stoma had been, and had to have that repaired. Two and a half years ago I had to have my gall bladder out, but because of all the previous surgeries, they couldn’t do it laparoscopically, so they had to cut me. My stomach looks like a road map.

I hope he comes to Jesus and is healed.
I struggle to hope this, but I will write it anyway.

Diverticulitis—just proves what we’ve all known, he’s full of sh*t.

And of course, he gets platinum level medical care at Mayo Hospital, doesn’t have to deal with the consequences of Obamacare.

The Grim Reaper is waiting for you, Juan. Even Mayo can’t save you.

Rough stuff, but you are lucky to have listened to your instincts! I have had a total of five ab surgeries, so I too, look like a roadmap. My last resulted in post-surgical “gas” which almost ended in a bowel resection. Instead, things finally began to function and I dealt with three weeks of major cramping pain that closely resembled late stage birth LABOR. It was pretty miserable. pain pain pain pain

Wow! You’ve had your share of surgeries too. Hope you and I have seen the last of them. I’m getting too old for this crap.

Since it’s considered bad form to wish evil upon someone I’ll just say I hope he has a wonderful funeral.
