Stressful day today.

My whole family have been on vacation in South Carolina for the past 10 days. 2 days ago my Mom came down with what we thought was food poisoning.

As it wasn't improving my dad took her to the ER where they diagnosed her with a twisted bowel which required immediate surgery.

She's out of surgery now, but will have to remain in the hospital for 5 more days for observation.

Everyone but my Dad and I left this morning and I'll be flying home tomorrow evening.

Just waiting now until we can go back and see her.

Yikes. I'm so sorry.

There is a wolf in me . . . fangs pointed for tearing gashes . . . a red tongue for raw meat . . . and the hot lapping of blood—I keep this wolf because the wilderness gave it to me and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fox in me . . . a silver-gray fox . . . I sniff and guess . . . I pick things out of the wind and air . . . I nose in the dark night and take sleepers and eat them and hide the feathers . . . I circle and loop and double-cross.

There is a hog in me . . . a snout and a belly . . . a machinery for eating and grunting . . . a machinery for sleeping satisfied in the sun—I got this too from the wilderness and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fish in me . . . I know I came from salt-blue water-gates . . . I scurried with shoals of herring . . . I blew waterspouts with porpoises . . . before land was . . . before the water went down . . . before Noah . . . before the first chapter of Genesis.

There is a baboon in me . . . clambering-clawed . . . dog-faced . . . yawping a galoot's hunger . . . hairy under the armpits . . . here are the hawk-eyed hankering men . . . here are the blonde and blue-eyed women . . . here they hide curled asleep waiting . . . ready to snarl and kill . . . ready to sing and give milk . . . waiting—I keep the baboon because the wilderness says so.

There is an eagle in me and a mockingbird . . . and the eagle flies among the Rocky Mountains of my dreams and fights among the Sierra crags of what I want . . . and the mockingbird warbles in the early forenoon before the dew is gone, warbles in the underbrush of my Chattanoogas of hope, gushes over the blue Ozark foothills of my wishes—And I got the eagle and the mockingbird from the wilderness.

O, I got a zoo, I got a menagerie, inside my ribs, under my bony head, under my red-valve heart—and I got something else: it is a man-child heart, a woman-child heart: it is a father and mother and lover: it came from God-Knows-Where: it is going to God-Knows-Where—For I am the keeper of the zoo: I say yes and no: I sing and kill and work: I am a pal of the world: I came from the wilderness.

Jesus. Sorry dude. That sounds painful

[JuanHamm]

Thanks guys. I've just been back to see her and she's doing as well as you'd expect.

I have no clue what causes something like this. I just hope it never happens to me.

[Jorge]

Hope things improve, Tom

[BurtReynolds]

How does a twisted bowel even happen?

Isn't this just a hernia?

[Rangi Guy]

How does a twisted bowel even happen?

I know with dogs it can happen if they've just eaten and then go for a run. I'm guessing it'd be similar for people, so possibly eating then exercise?

Hope she improves quickly

So yesterday after church took my daughters to a store to get some craft stuff. I was standing outside the store with them while my wife ran back to the car to get something. I was literally doing nothing, and my knee gave out on me again. Haven't been able to walk on that leg since yesterday morning, got minimal sleep cause of the pain, so off to A&E this morning to see what the damage is

[BurtReynolds]

Sorry dude. Sounds like a constant pain in the ass.

[Rangi Guy]

Could be a ligament thing, could be a meniscus thing... I'm now on crutches, have pills abs and start physio next week

Your physio should test for ACL or medial damage. Fingers crossed dude.
