    So, delivering my load yesterday I start to get an uneasy feeling in my stomach. Driving back to the OC it got worse and worse, almost to the point I was gonna pull over but I was so close so I pushed on. Once back a fellow driver(thanks Jason) drove me to the ER because I was in so much pain.

    So, here I sit, in the hospital, with a tube down my throat sucking everything out of my stomach and intestines. Apparently my digestive tract is blocked by something so they are gonna try to suck it out, if that doesn't work, I will have to have surgery, I hope it doesn't come to that. Wish me luck.

    Best wishes to you; you will be fine. Probably a polyp which probably 99% of humans get. One little snip and it's gone.

    Good luck driver, I'm sure you'll be fine. I drink a little Zija tea cleansers myself to keep things flowing.

    Morphine helps much :biggrin_25525:

    Was just talked to by the doc. They are gonna take me down for another ct scan here in a bit, if anything is getting thru they are gonna keep the tubes in and keep sucking the gunk out.

    Nope just came on suddenly. I have had two surgeries in that area before, dr. said sometimes this can happen because of scar tissue. Just got back from having the ct scan, just waiting for the results and playing the waiting game.
