I have lost more than 10 pounds, am touchy, and painful. While my coughing is better, the little bit I still do isnt helping my tummy heal any quicker. I called the surgeons office and asked for that CT scan. Its scheduled for tomorrow at 7:30 AM! good thing I am normally an early riser. Sheesh! thats an obscene hour to get up and be ready for anything.

Cross your fingers for me. Its just a CT scan, I keep telling my self, its just a CT scan. YEp, I get to drink nasty liquids, and gag my way through the junk, but its just a CT scan. I just have to lay down. Why do I get so nervous?

This scan should show if I have the "folding" pattern in my LOWER intestine. This is why so many folks have missed it in the past. The upper corner has become unhooked, and that causes slack in the line, and a "folding" pattern of intestine in the lower pelvis. The pulling from the intestines folding and putting pressure on the line makes that "tug" sensation I have been feeling. As it goes on year after year that tug pulls down more and more of the intestine into the fold. Since I am not completely recovering from this episode, he feels it may have pulled down even more.

I dont want a right hemi colonectomy! no thank you! why cant this be a hang nail and I get an RX for a manicure? or a massage? come guys! work with me here.
