Rose thank you for your good thoughts and prayers, We may not have met but I have heard your struggle and I pray that you get well. I am getting off the computer and heading out for the day to visit some friends. I have actually canceled the surgery and will post my entire story soon,but I don't want to jinx myself. As of this week my intestines have been starting to work again. This after four years of complete constipation no matter how much "stuff" I dumped in my body. I took a leap of faith and jumped into my body to dig up some deep emotional issues I've been hiding of worthlessness and repressed anger and turned them over to God. As I have let the emotions come to the surface my intestines have begun to work again. The most advanced tests said sorry colon has to come out, and they were wrong. Have faith anything is possible.
