Thanks guys. I think the area where I have had several sugeries is so weak and thin that any harder stool just wrecks it. I saw blood in the toilet and then I blotted 5 times and the blood just kept coming.
Fiss-I did start taking glutamine a few days ago. Hopefully it will help with this setback. What is so ironic is last night about 10:30 pm I was putting away the dishes from the dishwasher and was feeling pretty good and I thanked God for the good moment and then the next morning, bam!
I think I will at least ask my CRS about the ramifications of a colostomy or I need to just start taking enough pain meds so that I can live somewhat normally.
I know we are all batttling with something or another, so I thank you all for your support.
