VR17 Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 hey guys.. im back, my moms operation went well. what happened was a few days prior, my mom threw up, we all thought it was just a stomach flu.. nothing serious. dad decided to take her to the hospital, and they gave her some meds. next morning around 6am, she puked again, this time blue and green vomit, my aunt and dad took her back to the hospital, my brother called me telling me something about her stomach. when i got home from work, drove to see her, turns out about 18 inches of her small intestants have been twisted, so my mom went to surgery, they cut her open and cut that part out. the doc told me if she didnt go to the hospital the 2nd time around, she would have died. i took work off and my family and i have been there with her, hoping for the best. im sorry for making you guys worried, i just have no time for these thing, and the important things come first. everything is coming along slowly, shes cant eat yet, but in a matter of weeks, she be able to heal. and the bad news.. my cousin in Vietnam died from a motorcycle accident yesterday. i only met him once, but was like a brother to me. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLontheDL Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 What causes the small intestines to twist like that? We are all born with our small intestines twisted but I guess your mother's intestine got more twisted somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kegger Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Bowel impaction, or very forceful vomiting can cause it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VR17 Posted December 19, 2007 Author Share Posted December 19, 2007 the doc said its rare to see patients to have that kind of thing, he said, "thats the 2nd time this year" my mom is pretty normal, like yo mommas, well balance diet, jogging, soccer mom, work 40 hours weekly. i really dont know how this happened. they took a pic of the insides it was huge, it looked like a big worm looking thing. bleh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick B. Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 your mom definitely does not sound like my mom. my mom is more like a rhino. she can run really fast in really short distances, so if you piss her off, make sure youre at least 50 feet away, then youre in the safe zone.

VR17 Posted December 19, 2007 Author Share Posted December 19, 2007 it pretty crowded in Vietnam not as bad as Japan, but they said it was a multi bike crash, they don't have stop lights or stop signs. not a lot of cars either, mostly you ride a bicycle or motorcycle.
