I have been experiencing considerable pain in my abdomen and considering I had intestinal surgery in 2004, I decided to get in to see the doctor today. After some testing he told me that I have an intestinal infection (again) and that I will need to take two antibiotics to try to get the infection out. This all started years ago from diverticulitis and turned into paratinitis in 2004 when I ended up having about 13 feet of my intestines removed. The doctor told me at that time I could get another infection due to lower immunity and I guess he was right. He also told me he thinks I may have an abdominal hernia due to the combination of the surgery compounded with my job lifting heavy appliances every day. I am awaiting a referral to a surgeon to see how this pans out. I will be back at work tomorrow despite this. Bills need to be paid and I cannot pay them laying at home. It was nice to get a couple days rest and the good thing is that I can decide to take a day off when I need to due to the fact I work for myself. just wanted to let everyone know I will keep you all updated on my health issues as I find out. gee, I will be 47 yrs old in a couple weeks and I feel my age catching up to me. Even though 47 is not considered old, with the surgery I had, I feel older then I actually am.
