In 2007 I went in for a hysterectomy. (Sepsis and Surgery) In surgery, the doctor nicked my bowel. They sent me home only for me to return to hospital early that morning in severe pain and sick as a dog.

When I got to emergency room I was treated and even told that I was just drug seeking. After tests and things, they found the bowel perforation. (Sepsis and Perforated Bowel) They took me back into surgery to repair it. It took 28 gallons of saline to clean me out.

Now today, 2017, I suffer on a daily basis with several issues, bathroom issues, also always sick. I don’t believe that they truly cleaned me out or something is still very wrong. I am now terrified to even go find out what is still wrong from fear of how I will get treated and what I know I am going to have to go through. And a lot of the time it gets really bad but I feel like I would just die before I let anyone touch me again. This is my story I am continuously sick everyday. Any advice??
