After a recent scope, the doc came to talk to me with a very worried look on his face.I've only seen this guy a couple of times, but he told me "If we don't find something that works for you soon, you're going to have a very short life." Way to scare the crap out of someone doc.
Since I was still so out of it from the procedure, can someone explain this to me in English, please? My report says this:
(Lumen)
Evidence of a previous end to to side right hemi-colectomy was seen in the descending colon.A stenosis was noted in the terminal ileum.The scope could not traverse the lesion and the exam could not be completed.Severe edema, inflammation, and exudate, occupying most of the lumen.Unable to intubate terminal ileum.
If someone could explain this to me that'd be awesome.I know I must have a pretty bad stricture/blockage.I've already been admitted a couple of weeks ago with what they said was just a flare, but I was puking up everything and told the doc it felt like a blockage because I've had one before.
Now I'm waiting on biopsys to come back (should be Monday) from my understanding to see if crohns is active?Seems like a no-brainer to me?
He also said if I start throwing up again to go to UNC hospital this time.Like we'll just wait until it's an emergency.Shouldn't we schedule surgery now and not wait? It's already an emergency already since I'm so blocked and have already been admitted once.Please share your thoughts with me.I feel like I don't know what's going on.
I also have a bad feeling they'll be taking a lot more than 13 inches this time. I'm really scared and nervous.I have 6 boys at home and no idea how I'm going to get someone to help me out.It took me almost 3 months to recouperate from this last time. I was just telling someone I'd rather go through 6 natural childbirths all at once than to ever go through that again.
Thank you in advance!
