Currently testing the level of service in my hospital as a patient. Played golf Saturday and then woke up early hours of Sunday trying to be sick but just dry wrenching. Then had severe diarrhoea and all of a sudden passed a lump of blood.

Trip to A&E for tests and fluids. Sent home lunchtime. Tried to eat and drink and passed more blood. Back to A&E and more tests. CT showed iscaemic colitis so now on surgical ward waiting to find out if I need op this week and a stoma. Best re-read that golfing with a stoma thread. Bored out of my mind and if one more person tries to stick a needle in me.....

Definitely not what I asked santa for and HiD stress levels through the roof. More worried about missing best meal of the year

If you want to chat or think I can help, let me know.
 
As someone who has been through the wringer myself this year I genuinely empathise - keeping everything crossed for you Homie. ?
 
Oh bugger, i'll be seeing you in the IBD clinics then homer! Wish you well matey, fingers crossed they get it sorted and avoid a stoma. even if they give you one, it possible it temporary,

Best wishes. get well soon!
 
Yikes! Left side I hope - as consequences not as severe.
Hope you recover soon - and fully!

Oh flipping heck that sounds awful. Hopefully it won't need anything too radical and you're home recovering very soon. Take care.
