Reply to "Blockage"

@Chook2 - in what way?

@Shellie - blockages suck so much.  I’d love to know too.  I’ve had many over the past 30 years of pouching.  Several have sent me to the hospital when the pain gets too much.  For at home I take Percocet and try to ride it out.  I’ll sip on water but not much else.  I find that the pain seems less if I sit up, leaned back in a chair or couch rather than laying flat.  Alternatively it seems laying on my stomach with my torso propped up, like reading a book in bed, seems to help too and seems to “open up” my abdomen and intestinal tract.  I’ll often pass a little gas or fluid after staying in this position for a while, and every little bit helps.  Finally, I have a “go bag” list of stuff to collect when I feel like I’m getting close to going in to the ER.  I always end up spending a few days, so I like to have a tablet, phone, chargers, toothbrush, kindle, etc.



Good luck!!
