Lot's to be grateful for huh?

I was supposed to go to church with a lady across the street, when I told Hugo that I didn’t feel so great, I told him that I was not going to church that day.

Hugo was painting the bathroom and I started to read a book. A few hours later, totally out of the blue, I asked Hugo if he would take me to the emergency. Hugo told me later that he thought that I had “flipped my wig” he wanted to know why I felt it necessary to go.

I told him that I felt I needed to get some test done before I would see my doctor the next day. In the hospital it was discovered that I had an infection, but they did not know where. I had to come back the next day, and more tests were done. No female problems of any kind were found. By now I am holding my stomach, it felt like I was about to drop “my baby”. That afternoon I went to see my family doctor. I could now tell him what test had been done so far, and what had been found out. He told me to go to the hospital right away.

That evening at eight o’clock, they opened me up. They did not know what to expect, so they had two teams of doctor’s ready. The best surgeon in town was on duty, he was to leave the very next day to start his vacation.

My own family doctor was assisting. He told me later that my colon had perforated. He told me that I was a real mess. Feces were all through my body, peritonitis had already set in.

Had I waited one day I would have most likely died I was told.

I now had to wear a colostomy bag for the next six months.
The following morning I was told about this colostomy.
The nurse said; You are taking this very well. I asked her; Did I have a choice in this? lol

The surgeon said to me later; "You must have been in excruciating pain" That was the scary part. No warning and No pain!
I never had ANY pain, not from this perforation or from Any other thing.
I am never sick, never even had the flue. I have lots to be grateful for huh? cheering

I really am fine, thank you for your concern.
This happened many years ago about 15 years.
I had an infection because perodonitus had set in.
A good reason to get an infection.
After the operation I had no other problems.
As I told I am never sick.
Just to "pester" my relatives, they have to wait longer for their inheritance, my first plan is too live another
30 years.
My mom made it too 94 1/2 and I made up my mind to pass her.

Sorry to hear about your problems.
Take care please.
