Didn't get out yesterday because bowels hadn't moved.

They moved last night and today then he asked me about highly pain in intestinal area. Tried to convince him it was wind but he asked for second opinion from bowel man who wants to keep me till tomorrow. Could have gone home for a few hours but not worth the 2 hour round trip. Patience again.xxx

    Hi attractac

    Sorry you are still in hospital. But think of it this way. It is better for them to look into your problems before you go home and fix them if they need fixing than to be rushed back in with complications.

    I hope everything is ok and it is just one of those things. But it is best just to be sure. It is only one more day. After what I have gone through just be thankful they are watching everything fdor you.x

    Good to get everything seen to before you come out of hospital-it's like having an MOT!

    you can then relax when you get home and know all is well

    Sleep tight!
