Update note from Tony this morning:

"Feeling better today. Was able to eat a full breakfast without serious cramping for the first time in more than two weeks. My wife was thrilled, and I was kinda shocked. Even had coffee. No nausea either."

Wonderful news!

Thank you for the information / update.

My thought are with you and your family Tony, hoping  for a full recovery.

Greetings all,

I was in the hospital for a bit over two weeks and went home. We all thought I was ready. We all were wrong. I spent six days at home doing my best to endure the continuing pain  and nausea, chalking it up to the normal struggles of recovery at home, but then the symptoms escalated to unbearable levels, and I had to go back to the ER. I was diagnosed with a partial obstruction and had to endure several days of an NG tube and all its attendant discomfort in addition to the pain and nausea I had been suffering for so many weeks. Things have gotten better. My belly distension has gone down, the obstruction subsiding. I spent about 9 more days in the hospital before going back home improved from   the first discharge. I still have some cramping  and queasiness but nothing like before, and I feel much better.

Thank you for your prayers, thoughts, and kind words. Thank you to @goatherder for so kindly letting the VO community know of my plight and asking for prayers. 

I'm on the mend now.

So happy you're home!

Hi Tony. Welcome home. I am glad to hear you’re on the road to recovery. Illness takes a toal on the patient and loved ones as well, so best wishes for ye all 🙏👍

Tony!! Welcome Home!!

I'm so glad to hear this news but feel for you not having it all resolved yet.  I will continue to pray this passes for you as well. I'm sure your family was very pleased to have you home again. 

Don't give up a fight for total pain relief.    After my recent 6 week, plus a total of 3  weeks previous with partial stays, I was so relieved to have all that pain resolved even though it means regular meds to control it.   I don't miss the agony that's for sure! 

May God Bless you as you heal! 

getting home is half the battle , hopefully you will be back to normal(normal for us) as soon as possible

@ileostony Wow, you’ve had a rough go. Hopefully things will settle down now. Glad you’re home and starting to feel better. We’re all thinking of you here on VO.
