Ok, so now I feel like an asshole for yelling at you. Sorry.

Let me tell you the first thing that came into my head when I read your post.

2 weeks after my surgery I was readmitted to the hospital because I had a blockage (read: could not poop) due to adhesions. This excruciating pain just came from out of no where and I had just gone to the bathroom only a couple of hours earlier, so it really made no sense.

It is more common for the adhesions to develop a year after surgery; thus, the reason the fuckers in the ER didn't seem too concerned about the amount of pain I was in until they did a CAT scan.

Find out if your mother has gone to the bathroom.
