Shoot! I didn't know you had prior issues Sara, it must be awful to go through all that. Do you know what triggers the bowel obstruction so you can avoid it from happening again in future? It's a blessing that Mayo dealt with the problem so efficiently and made you feel as comfortable as they could given the situation, but it's certainly not an experience you want to go through again.
Take care!
Thanks Pauline. Yes, it is something that I have dealt with for most of my life. I was told to cut back on fiber. I have a lot of fruits and veggies in my diet and so I have scaled those back a bit. The part that is hardest is not knowing when it will happen again.
