Have been living with acute abdominal pain since age 12. Was sick and hospitalized for 3 weeks during said time every test was ran and they couldn’t find the cause. Between ages of 12-26 it was dormant with very few problems.
From 26 to current I have agonizing pain several times a year. My “spells” usually last between a day and upwards of 3 months. I have been hospitalized many times over the last 15 years. I spent more time in the hospital when my children were in school than I was able to attend school functions.
At age 29 I had a full hysterectomy, which turned out that they did not do the proper procedure. They only did a partial, which is still causing troubles. I’ve had my gallbladder taken out during this same timeframe. During the last 15 years I have spent a lot of time in the hospital, at doctors appointments, anything we could think of to at least minimize some of the pain and symptoms. In June of 2016 I almost lost my life to this illness. I had to have emergency surgery to remove part of my colon and several feet of intestines. My intestines had knotted up on themselves and caused my intestines and colon to become septic. I came out of surgery with my life but also with a colostomy bag at the age of 39. During my recover I ended up with an even more severe case of sepsis. They had to run the strongest amount of antibiotics through my system as soon as possible. Because at this point, I had infection oozing out of every pore imaginable. Once again, I was hospitalized and had to be washed out from the inside out. By time I healed up from this I had to go in and have the reversal surgery. The procedure went well, just took a long time to heal. I was finally able to go back to work in the spring of 2017.
I excelled at my job and within 9 months I had received 4 large promotions. The last promotion was the Director of Operations for a travel adventure company in SE Alaska. My season was fantastic!! Everyone was so proud and overwhelmed with the way I was able to it this business back on track. This was coming from my direct supervisor; President, Vice President, and both of the owners “. This impression was given and spoken about up until the day they actually walked into my hospital room on December 7 2018 and terminated me because of my disability. A disability that was disclosed to the company before I took any of the promotions.
To recap I am now in the hospital getting ready to be medevacked again to The Mayo Clinic. I’m sure this won’t be my last stay, but maybe this time they can find a clue, a clause, a diagnosis. Anything at this point to release some of the pain.
