Tangled ... literally!

OYE, SO my family has nicknamed me "Tangled" .... and I am so looking forward to getting untangled :) The last month has been a roller coaster between GI doctors, physicians and surgeons. For the past 3 years since I had my youngest child I have had a constant pain in my upper left side of my abdomen and 3 years later, NUMEROUS doctors visits later WALLA ... a diagnosis. Basically my middle intestine is tangled or medically speaking called; 
 Intussusception (in-tuh-suh-SEP-shun) is a serious disorder in which part of the intestine — either the small intestine or colon — slides into another part of the intestine. This "telescoping" often blocks the intestine, preventing food or fluid from passing through. Intussusception also cuts off the blood supply to the part of the intestine that's affected .


I was about to give up since each and every doctor I visited told me I either had a hernia or that I just simply had GI problems or the best was I needed to work on my core since I had gained so much weight with back to back pregnancies .... At first I thought , " Was I going crazy?!" But on a flight to Hawaii this year I knew from sitting there for 6 + hours something wasn't right and went into the doctor again this year and finally found one who listened to me and referred me to a great GI and 2 scans, 1 MRI later we found what is causing all this rucus. Luckily for me it will be an easy fix and next week I will go in for a surgery to untangle me ... YAY, can't wait!!1 I have the most AMAZING friends and family a girl can ask for who have been here for me and so dang supportive/encouraging and I am so thankful for them and I cannot wait to get back the lil things most of us take for granted such as exercising without it hurting, eating a gigantic meal or sitting for a few hours w/o pain ... I've got another plane to catch to Hawaii with my hubby & babies in January and nothing is going to  hold me back ...g bye pain! :)
