Mrrzy is not enjoying much.

Rehab upped the laxatives till horrible unproductive stomach cramps I put up with for 4 hours [4-8am Tues night/Weds am] hoping they would *become* productive made them call 911. Ambulance, ER. Tranquilizer, pain shot in IV, CT, ultrasound, oh there seems to be some mass in your lower abdomen, follow up with oncology. Yup, looked like cancer.

I was tranquil.

Another impressively productive enema took care of the rest of the pain, can leave ER. Still tranquul.

Oh by the way, then says the ER, rehab has discharged you to home.

I am immediately no longer tranquil. All my stuff is at the nursing home and am not well enough to be gome.

Now the lucky part: one sis had been blowing through town heading for family thanksgiving, to drop off pie, so I had called a fiend to take custardy of said pie. Friend was thus able to drive me to fetch my stuff and then home.

It was so good to be home.

My own groceries my own cooking my own delivery places.

People came and were helpful (cannot turn on shower, contrils too low, for example), have a great rocking chair, nice to just be me in my house.

That lasted a day. Home Weds pm. By Thurs pm abdo pain has me calling people for advice. Friend moved a TV (for me) and chair (for visitor) into bedroom. Friday morning the advice was Call another ambulance. Back to ER.

By now I am convinced it cant bw cancer. It has got to be something from the surgery. And indeed, an MRI confirms fluid not a mass. Great. So they

Surprise! Did nothing. Sent me home again to pain and pooplessness.

I have appointments with my GP (Mon) and the conplicated abdo filks Tuesday. By which time I won't have pooped for another week.

I am not tranquil. I wept and wailed and hollered at people in the ER for not being able to TREAT me but it was the ER, and I was not in *deathly* danger.

I gotta ask if I were in the UK or Canada or France or anywhere civilized if there would be these kinds of runarounds.

I also should be being a lot mire rigorous in keeping keto. Moid needs stabilizing...
