SPDIF day 52 - 8: awaiting words from the surgeons .....

SPDIF day 52 - 8: awaiting words from the surgeons in the emergency room. the cat scan shows a full bowel obstruction. after 13 hours of extreme pain they have inserted an NG tube to drain my stomach. 'That is the fastest I have ever seen a stomach empty,' the emergency room nurse said. This large container is what came out in the first 90 seconds. 20 percent more has come out so far.
I am in the Washington Hospital Center, run by the same MedStar that runs Georgetown that has done most of my surgery. The surgeon here recommends, & I concur, that if they have a bed it makes sense to transfer me to Georgetown so that the surgeon that did my original work can do this work as well. Otherwise if they do surgery it will happen here. 


It seems that they will watch to see if the bowel obstruction, a kink, resolves itself. There is a preference to avoid surgery because more surgery creates more opportunity for scar tissue to create this problem again. But they share my view that this is the fifth occurrence in the last 7 days, and I had several episodes before the hunger strike but not as acute as these more recent episodes.
The thought of having this the sword of Damocles hanging over my life is pretty unpleasant. So I lean toward surgery, but I will rely on the advice, any strong advice, of the surgeons.
My Dr, a very competent young man shares my suspicion that 52 days without food created the conditions for my pre existing scar tissue from earlier operations to expand. I have no regrets. None. I was preferring to be able to pay the full price of my life to save even one Palestinian. To my horror I discovered that no one cares. Yes, no one cares. The price of this incident now, the last 13 hours of pain, and many such incidents in the future, I have no regrets. I am aware of no personal price I would not pay to save even one Palestinian....
  10 p.m. update: will be transferred tonight to Georgetown University Hospital, the site of most of my cancer surgery. No final word on whether a will watch me or perform surgery.



Back in the emergency room. Extreme pain since 7 this morning. 12 hours now. My hunch.....

Back in the emergency room. Extreme pain since 7 this morning. 12 hours now. My hunch is that 52 days without food allowed the scar tissue from my cancer operations to lay traps around my intestines causing obstruction. Awaiting results from the CT scan an hour ago.

SPDF Day 52-7: Released from ER and Hospital this afternoon.... more

SPDF Day 52-7:  Released from ER and Hospital this afternoon.

Admitted to ER at Howard University (I survived) 7am after sitting on the toilet floor since midnight pouring sweat, shaking in stomach pain.  Finally called the ambulance.

Diagnosis, twisted, obstructed, small intestine.  The only comment on me going to the ER was, 'WHY DID YOU WAIT FOR 6 HOURS TO CALL US???? DON'T DO THAT AGAIN.'  I won't.

Cause?  The senior surgeon who admitted me and attended me each day, surrounded by his gaggle of interns, at mid day today, when I asked, 'What did I do to bring this on?,' thinking it was what I ate, how I ate, the 52 day fast... he said, 'No, it was nothing you did, and you have no restrictions now.  It is all the cancer surgery in your abdomen.  It unavoidably causes scarring, and this often, frequently, usually(?) sets up the condition for such small intestine obstructions as I had.

My SAINT of a primary care doc, devoted to we homeless, saw me when I returned from the hospital, and has called my cancer team to find out if they want the surgeon that did the liver section to see what is going on?  And, she wants me to get the colonoscopy they've been trying to get me to schedule, which I will.

For now, tho I've been given no restrictions, I'm trying to avoid eating any C.R.A.P. (Carbonated, Refined Shugars, Artificial sweeteners or colorings, Processed) (the Farmers Market is open with subsidies for we economically poor), chew vvveeerrrryyyy carefully, watch portion size, hydrate.

I'm taking some gut-beast-feeding farmers market sauerkraut each day, and Greek Yogurt for the gut as well (sorry sister cows) :-(  . 

Tho the extreme pain has subsided, the nature of the pain and feeling of vulnerability has not.  Feels pretty wounded, and vulnerable.  I'll see what happens.  They emphasized I need to be ready at short notice to back to the hospital.

I needed to be on Captal $$$ Hill with the Free Palestine Vigil this week... that didn't happen.  Whether I can get to the White House Sat and Sun... I pray so... will have to see what my body says.  Pretty messed up.  Of course, I'll make every second count for Palestine, on line, that I can, regardless.

Albert Einstein: The ideals which have lighted me on my way and time after time given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been Truth, Goodness, and Beauty. Without the sense of fellowship with men of like mind, of preoccupation with the objective, the eternally unattainable in the field of art and scientific research, life would have seemed to me empty. The ordinary objects of human endeavour—property, outward success, luxury—have always seemed to me contemptible.
