Reply to "Small intestine resection recovery"

Hi Dana, 

I recently went through something similar.  At 4am on Feb. 24 I woke up feeling like my gut had ruptured.  The pain would not subside and went to the ER around 7am (after the kids were awake).  They said I had a partial blockage, I didn't want the ng tube so went home to tough it out.  Not surprisingly I wasn't tough enough and was back in the ER the next day, got the ng tube and waited 3 days and it never corrected itself.  I had bowel resection surgery and now feel similar to you what you are going through.  I was in the hospital for a week after surgery before my bowels would even start working again.  Now I'm home and in pain and taking longer to recover than thought.  I also have 2 young kids (1 and 4) and a job that I need to go back to at some point.

I do agree with post above that you have to ask for help during this time.

sorry I don't have any advise, but there are others in the same boat.

Adam
