So I've had my total colectomy due to a cancerous polyp that they found right by my rectum and now I'm awaiting takedown.
I worry a lot so I tend to go to see my GI when I find even the slightest thing wrong. For example, I've been seeing my GI lately because I've been feeling nauseous. They did blood work and it turns out that nothing is wrong but then this past Friday and Saturday morning, I had really bad stomach pains and it happened on both mornings right after I awakened (after I literally opened my eyes).
But it went away in a few hours and I was able to eat after and nothing was wrong, but then, today, I had that same tummy pain and so I called my GI and asked if I could stop by. They told me I'd have to be seen by someone else today so I said it's fine. I've also been having darker color urine and also go frequently (or at least that's what it feels like). Last night I had white color urine so it's sort if messed up.
My question is....I feel like I'm a hypochondriac but at the same time, I feel like I want a break away from the hospital for a while. I feel like just taking a short trip just to get away for a while.
