Oh Sherrel

I am a middle aged woman, I was trying to get my years in with State Government, where I worked. I kept getting sick and was diagnosed with krohns desease. My conditioned worsend to the point I was taken to emergency room. My stomach was swelled bigger than the size of a basketball. Blood and feces, mostly blood rushing out of me. Just everywhere, I was so embarrassed but the pain was so severe, it took over every thought I had. The emergency room doctor told staff, we have to do something she is going to burst or worse, die. The doctor rushed me to the endoscopy floor. He used som type of pressure with his arms and all his strength. I felt like dying. He did this procedure for about two minutes and then it was just like my rectum was bursting open and blood and feces moucus poured out of me. I had fistulas in my urine. They were hard as a rock. I believe I would have bursted for sure that night and I know that surgin on staff saved me.

Then I was transported from my local hospital to a more advance technology hospital. I had no food for about twelve weeks. I almost died being treated for this condition. If that poison had gotten into my bloodstream I would have died. I not sure but I think some of the poison did get in my bloodstream. Doctors removed the damaged colon and le about five inches on the rectum end. They took out about nine feet of damaged colon in late 2007. I was very dehydrated and just on liquid iv drop. Since surgery I have been bleeding from the rectum, I need so bad for that area to heal. Is there any information out there to help me? I want so bad to be put back together. I believe in prayer very much. But I still need help. Please help!
