Thank you to those who responded. I truly appreciate your prayers.

My very good friend sent me a St. Anthony medal w/prayer card along with a St. Pio keychain and prayer card in the mail today.

I wasn’t expecting anything today only bills, so when I opened the envelope, it definitely put a 🙂 in my heart.

I can’t wait until Wednesday morning so I can have the tests done and the GI can inform me what the next step is in our game plan to get me better. I’ve already lost 30 pounds since my operation in Sept. but not the way it’s normally done. Once I am back to my old sweet self, you can bet I will be eating DH’s famous pizza from scratch and bbq wings. It’s the little things in life that we usually take for granted you know?

At least I’m not bouncing off the wall w/worry or depressed. I hope it stays that way. I’ll keep everyone posted once the results are in. Please continue to pray though so I don’t lose my composure. God Bless. :gopray: :gopray:
 
Just wanted to share an update on the tests I had last Wed. morning. I was told that there was no narrowing in my small bowel and there was no indication of a partial blockage of any sort.(that’s good news) Based upon what the radiologist saw, everything is negative. They have no clue as to what’s causing my tummy troubles. :eek: (it’s a mystery…one which I had answers to right now).

So I am back to square one and was told to definitely talk to the surgeon as it may be adhesions or scar tissue causing these problems. I’ve been feeling lousy all week and sleeping more than usual due to the pain and stomach distention (hurts like heck). The pain and anti spasm medications make me sleepy thus, I don’t have much of a life right now and it stinks. I just want my life back so I can do my job at running my household. 😦

DH did make me a very nice seafood dinner for Valentine’s day–home made crab cakes, broiled scallops, and garlic toast out of french bread.

Please continue to pray for me as the pain is unbearable at times as I just want to :crying: . Thank you all and God Bless.
 
Jesus please help with correct diagnosis for the specific cause of our sister’s pain and problem, and please lead her to healing.

Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless,
and the treasury of compassion inexhaustible,
look kindly upon us, and increase Your mercy in us,
that in difficult moments we might not despair, nor become despondent, but with great confidence submit ourselves to Your holy will, which is love and mercy itself.

Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come. Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.
Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
 
I am really in the need of prayers and a miracle. I’ve been in so much pain after I saw the surgeon including a few days of not being able to hold down anything. The pain has gotten to the point where I actually thought I’d bust my ostomy open due to severe pressure and such.

I am going to see the surgeon tomorrow morning instead of Thursday. I don’t care if I need surgery to alleviate the pain. I’ve been through it many times over my life. I know it’s not a cure but I just can’t live like this anymore. It’s gotten so bad since my surgery in September of 2008.

Pray that the surgeon can do something to get rid of my pain and fix my poor abdomen. I have a feeling it may be scar tissue, adhesions, and another hernia. I want my life back. 😦

Thank you in advance. God Bless.
 
Jesus please have mercy on our sister in her pain and sickness. Please urgently give her relief as soon as possible.
 
Hail Mary, Full of Grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and Blessed is the Fruit of Thy Womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now, and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Lord God, please send your Divine Patience to this person. Console them in their time of despair, and give them respite from their illness, if You so will it, Lord. Guide the actions of her medical caretakers, that they would treat her with dignity, respect, and promote her healing. Through Jesus Christ, Our Lord, I pray. Amen.

St. Camillus, pray for us.
 
Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of death.
Amen.
 
Here’s the latest update: I saw the surgeon sooner as I was in severe pain. He went over my test results and such and told me that I am not a candidate for surgery at this time and that he’d only consider it if I had a full blown obstruction or if my hernia got tangled with my small bowel. He also suggested going back to my CCFA meetings for support and to surround myself with family/friends that can offer assistance.

As for pain management, my GI took over that and increased the dosage of percocet and told me to call anytime if my symptoms get worse.

So now I have to take things 1 day at a time. I can’t make plans ahead of time as I never know when the spasms will hit. Some days I feel great and will try to do stuff, the last 4 days, I’ve been doubled over in tears waiting for the pain medication to kick in.

I hate living like this but that’s how it’s going to be. Most of my friends are very supportive and truly understand if I can’t go out. They even offer to stop by just to chat. My family is wonderful so I am blessed in that aspect. It just stinks that I have adhesions and scar tissue causing all of my grief.

Anyway, thank you for your prayers and support. This new surgeon is way better than what I had and he works w/my GI to oversee my care. That is a plus.

I just need prayers now to get through my days as I have my ups and downs. God Bless. Lisa
