I have cystic fibrosis. I’ve had to have my abdomen cut into 3 times for bowl obstructions/intestinal obstructions. Cancer is always on my mind. I’ve had over 30 different surgeries, including a double lung transplant. Nothings .... nothing compares to intestinal blockage or pain. Having my sternum sawed in half and my ribs separated, opened up like a crab, then having my lungs removed and having someone else’s put back in, finally being stapled 300 times, and having 6 garden hose sized chest drainage tubes inserted looking like doc fuckin oc, still doesn’t compare to a bowl obstruction it’s torture. Absolute torture.
