I just want to say I am feeling so good lately. On June 28 I had a bowel resection due to 2 years of recurring small bowel obstruction events which each landed me in the BEST hospital around for 3 days.

My wonderful, fantastic surgeon got me all fixed up and now no more of the dietary no-no's my gastro doc had me on due to this "situation." It's so great to feel normal and healthier than I have in a long time.

Sorry to ramble but I really always enjoy this forum and rarely post. Hope I didn't put any of you to sleep! I wish you all a good day and a nice week

@Love my grandkids

How wonderful that you're finally feeling good!

A friend had a similar situation a few years ago. She had been struggling with problems for years and then they finally realized part of her bowel was crushed. She had a section removed and was able to eat and function normally for the first time in years.

I think we tend to take our health for granted and can forget what a gift it is just to feel "normal".

I didn't buy it yet @Mz iMac This is gonna sound ridiculous.... I bought the Deluxe release of Sign O the Times like in October or November as a Christmas present from me to me last year. I put that thing away to resist temptation to open it early and got around to it in April or May. When I was listening to the remastered version of the straight up album I swear something is wrong with the audio of Starfish and Coffee. I swear to God Almighty is there is some way even a small one that the estate can muck up these releases they find it.

@viva923 Your house is so squeaky clean that I cannot imagine it will get dirty in two weeks. If you want to see a house that needs cleaning, come to mine, LOL.

This can be a time to rest your body, catch up on DVDs, etc. When I was laid up in 2020 after a serious fall, I sat in my recliner for two weeks and watched a series on DVD, then moved on to other DVDs. I made dinner most nights, and took care of the dogs, but not much else as it was extremely painful to walk with my knee black from the knee cap down and swollen like a blimp, so found it easy to just sit.

@viva923 I'm glad that the surgery is behind you. I know that you like to keep it moving on a daily basis to keep your BP in check. I know it will be difficult to take it easy however, them putzing around and doing testing laid you up with a UTI/potential yeast infection. If you overdo it and don't rest you could end up in bad shape.

That⬆️ @viva923.

What absolutely has to be done you can tell your husband how to do. Just concentrate on getting well. All your cleaning will still be there waiting for you when you're cleared to go again.

I'm glad it's done and over with, as I'm sure you are too.❤️
