Fidei Defensor Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 As many of you may know, I periodically drop out of here for medical and health reasons. Recently, I've been having a rough time again. I recently underwent an anorectal surgery for some bleeding issues and was told I have proctitis - inflammation of the rectal area, as well as pre-cancerous lesions. They were removed but I will continue to need periodic check-ups to make sure things don't go south. On top of this, my family history is strong with inflammatory bowel diseases like ulcerative colitis and crohn's disease. My gastro doc suspects colitis. I'm going to be going in for a colonoscopy soon. All of this forced me to drop out of school for the semester as I haven't been in class for almost 4 weeks now, due to the surgery + recovery + all the followup. I just wanted to let you know how things are going. I'm still optimistic about things and not excessively worried. If you could, say a couple of prayers.

CatherineM Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 You certainly have my prayers. This has been a bad semester for me too. I almost had to drop out of school after hurting both knees on the ice. I'm having to use a wheelchair again, at least until the ice finally melts here. You just do what you can, and take care of yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lilllabettt Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 The same thing happened to me: suspected IBS, then proctitis, then colitis. The endless tests, pills, and nausea. That pain and suffering, which I thought had ruined my life and would never end, is now just a memory. I am nearing the end of my treatment with surgery, and I promise you there is hope for good health and happiness after this diagnosis. I am praying so hard for you because I remember how scary uncertain and uncomfortable the diagnosis stage is especially. You will get better.

Luigi Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 (edited) I will definitely pray for you (see signature line) - it sounds about as unpleasant as it can get. But just to lighten things up.... My grandmother - a [i]most [/i]Catholic woman of happy memory - used to work for a proctologist. And although she was very proper in almost everything, she did occasionally repeat one of the doctor's favoite lines... "I'll get you in the end!"

Mark of the Cross Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Prayers Fidei Jesus speaks I could have summoned a legion of angels to save me from this agonising end, but how else could I demonstrate my love for you ? How could I ask you to endure your pain if I had avoided mine?... ...and so pain explodes into my brain, as nails pierce my hands and feet. Then I thirst and suffer until I question my Fathers love. My reply I look at you and think, is my soul worth this much? How much you must love me. How can I show my love in return?... ...I must accept whatever sickness, torment or agony is yet to come. To every cross I touch my lips that lets me be with you, a co-redeemer of humanity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
