12 hours later I was in emergency surgery and septic. Had a tear in the Sigmoid Colon. CT showed free air and fluid in my abdomen. Another few hours and I would not have been able to pull out of it. Had an appliance for four months and then a second takedown surgery. It was hell for a very long time.
I now get to have these procedures a bit more frequently.
What’s my point, you may ask. These are a pain and it sucks going through the prep. It just may save your life. I was lucky, and I don’t care to go through that again. At 54, who knows if I would have survived.
Just sayin, stay strong and prep on.

This sounds terrible. Do they know what caused the tear? I go in for my first colonoscopy next week. I’m a little tense about it due to contracting diverticulitis at the beginning of the summer and a reoccurrence in September. I fear that surgery may be in my future.
