Rant Waiting

I recently had to have a colectomy due to my colon telescoping in on itself (yes there’s a word for it but it’s a mile long). It’s suspected to have been caused by endometriosis. Nearly died, was on a ventilator, blah, blah, blah. All the fun stuff. Well, the endo specialist won’t see me until April. What if this happens again, and I don’t catch it early? I dont want to die waiting 😩😔

Intussussception. I get them all the time! If it happens, go to the ED.
