Can I have some good vibes for Jerry?

Gosh I just read this entire thread and I must say I am so sorry! I hope everything turns out ok and that Jerry comes home soon.
We're pulling for ya in IA!!! get well soon!!!

Poor Jerry! Good luck, and good vibes.

Please let us know how he is doing.

Sending many more prayers for Jerry

I'm sorry I am just logging in to see this. Many healing vibes heading Jerry's way.

My Grandmother had surgery for that a few years ago. As long as I could remember, she was fussing bout not being able to eat this or that. Things are much better for her now. I hope all is going well with Jerry! The surgery may not be fun, but it might be worth it.

Hi guys. Thanks for all the encouraging stories of people that you've known who have had it done and are much better. The surgeon came in yesterday and said that they are going to first treat this with antibiotics and see if that clears up the inflammation/infection he had. That should take away the pain we hope. He wants him to come in for either a barium enema or a colonoscopy in a month or so JUST TO MAKE SURE that there is nothing else going on in there......(jerry is so thrilled to hear that)
It was a long day yesterday and of course I'm headed back there today.
I'll let you all know how he's feeling tonight. I always tell him about these threads and how you are all so supportive........all he asks is that I don't take a pic of him in his hospital dress (as he calls it) with his butt hanging out the back end!

, Jerry!
I'm glad to hear that surgery isn't necessary right now.

I'm glad Jerry's feeling better, and that he'll soon be home with you and PTTB!

Hope Jerry is feeling better today and that he'll be good as new real fast, I know how concerned you must be, just remember to take care of yourself to...

I'm glad to hear that he's in good spirits Susie - big vibes that the antibiotics see off this infections and he will need no further treatment. YUCK!! for the colonoscopy - still that's in the future - let's just get him well and back home with you first

Susie, I just saw this. Sending big, big <<<<vibes>>>> and prayers that Jerry feels better and gets back home really soon!!!

Thanks everybody.....he was better today, just a small amount of abdominmal pain........poor thing, he couldn't have anything to eat or drink today and tomorrow he'll be on a liquid diet.......ugh!

A liquid diet? Ewww! No fun for Jerry!

I hope he feels much better very soon!

Is he having test done? none of the tests are bad not even the barium I had all of those done flexi sig, Colonoscopy << Wrong I think, then I had the Barium, none of them were much, it's the PREP, good gosh I wanted to eat so bad, I ate like boxes of jello, gallons of broth and never did get full, beside all the laxitive and enemas I hated all that, Glad to hear he's feeling better.

Susie, I've just seen this!

Sending many heath and healing }}}VIBES{{{ to Jerry! I hope he's home with you and the kits very soon!

You have to get him to go to the ER? I'm suprised you have to urge him to go as he is an EMT, right? I am sending good vibes Jerry's way.

That sucks about the liquid diet I am glad to hear that the pain is a lot less. Still sending vibes and prayers. He's such a trooper

Ah, the ever popular hospital gown. I know Jerry is tall as well as "husky". Did they have one long enough? (I know they make them larger as I discovered during my last stay - unlike 26 years ago.)
