We'll so far I am doing okay. No attacks since my trip to L&D, although I scared at every little pain wondering if it will turn into something but so far nothing thank God. keep the prayers coming. I took a full 24 hours plus for the effects from the pain medicine to fully wear off. I'm just now getting my strength back able to do what I want. I went to the store the day after and I felt like I had been hit by a truck all I could do was sleep and rest. Today I am back to myself I went though all of Emma's stuff to see what else I need for her. Yesterday I called Kami to tell her what happened. I was sooo scared of surgery and she has given me some hope. She put me on digestive enzymes before every meal and I am no have no fried foods and nothing really fatty.. so no pizza no burgers no fries and the worst of all no fried shrimp !!! but it will be worth it for the attacks. I taken my diet pretty slowly the past few days and so far so good but I'll keep praying. Then after Emma is here she will have me do a wash out where I fast and drink this drink and it will give me the poops for a few days and may take a few times, but hopefully I can avoid surgery all together if not hopefully that will lessen my case where I can put it off until Emma is old enough to be away from me and not compromise our nursing. I going to keep praying that Emma and I both stay healthy for the next year and maybe I won't need this surgery cause this is scary.

Excellent news! Good luck, I hope you wont need surgery at all! I never heard of that wash you are talking about. Any idea of what it is, or why it helps? Will it be safe to nurse when you drink it?#1 Comment from scrapinlover
