Well, last Monday I left work with a terrible pain in my guts. I toughed it out two days thinking I had a stomach bug, because I was throwing up everything I ate or drank. Finally went to the ER on Wednesday I think it was. Had a hernia and my intestine had "died" for about two inches. Had to have emergency surgery. Spent two nights in hospital. Christmas morning and all day Christmas I had diarehha. To say I have been miserable is a understatement. I feel better today, and hope it gets better from here on. Thank God for my wife, who has helped me so much.

Hope you're doing better!
Not to be a pain in the ass but did you know you had a hernia previous to this?
Or did you develop it doing something at work Monday?
I had no idea. I actually have been trying to frame my wife and I's house. Had put in most of the subfloor over the weekend. I assume that is what brought it on, although I felt absolutely fine when I went into work.

Thanks, I was kind of wondering if when you first felt all the pain if they'd have been able to poke the intestine back in and fix
the hernia without working on the intestine. Take care, hope you heal quickly and can get back to your house construction.
Guessing diarrhea is better than constipation right about now!
 
I hope you feel better soon. There is no good time to be sick but being sick on Christmas makes it worse.
And I know that first hand because my wife and daughter both have been sick. Wife got sick Friday morning and daughter Saturday night. We had to cancel all of our Christmas. Worse was I always cook Christmas Eve dinner for all of my family. But we have so much to be thankful for missing a meal is nothing. I told everyone I would cook when everybody felt better. That's one good thing about a country ham, they keep a long time. 😉
 
Gunman, hope you’re doing much better. I can sympathize because my wife had a hernia that went undetected for at least a couple of months, and when it was found, she had to have emergency surgery and a 2 foot section of her intestine was removed. She had a much worse outcome than you did. Take care of yourself and let us know how things are progressing.
