For the past couple of weeks I had been getting more and more intense abdominal pain and then this culminated in me starting to vomit. Went to A & E who admitted me and I've spent the last week in hospital, was discharged last night.
They reckon I have a partial blockage in the bowels. I'm going back to square one re the nutrition. Got told off by one of the consultants for having too high a fibre breakfast (weetabix) and not a low fibre one e.g. corn flakes. So hoping to get some more detailed dietary advice from the nurses.
Feeling totally washed out at the moment. Sleeping in hospital never the greatest prospect. When I could get to sleep I was having some weird dreams. I looked up antibiotics and apparently these can bring these on. They were very strange.
I'm in the position now of being back home, still waiting for a face to face appointment with the consultant. Had the operation in a different hospital to the one I've just come from so they have been talking to each other. Concerned now that I'm going to end up falling between "two stools". At least I found some more information about the operation although it doesn't sound that great. Just getting confused with it all now
