Hello everyone!  I hope everything is going well your way!  I am sorry I haven’t been around lately until now, however, there was a time where my life had nothing new going on so I just placed myself in hiatus.  Now that I have had another surgery, I am back to having a lot to talk about and boy is it different from the last!

I decided to have another bowel surgery because I started having a “bloated” feeling.  It seemed that every time I didn’t chew well or I ate too fast I would get bloated and feel like I just ate a four course meal. I would go out with friends and end up not eating or drinking with anyone because I literally couldn’t fit anything down me.  I was losing a little weight because I could only eat a little at a time and I was constantly running a low-grade fever.

After delaying it for as long as I could, I finally called my surgeon and set a date for the surgery.  The date was August 3rd, 2020.  The surgeon told me that he was going to take out the dialated part of my small intestine then clean up the scar tissue (if any) as well.  A few days later I received a letter in the mail from my health insurance company informing me that they have approved 2 days for recovery in the hospital.  I thought to myself that it’s going to be longer than that, knowing me and boy was I right!

Please read my next post to find out how the surgery and recovery went.  It’s something worth reading, trust me.  Also, just remember to take each day as it comes.  We’re in this together!

Chow for now!
