    I had my first bout when I was 42 but did not realize what it was. When I had my second attack I was 56, I was on antibiotics for quite a while, then a year later I had my thrid attack and ended up in the hospital for 3 days talking to a surgeron. I had my first surgery on August 25 I nearly died, I was in the hospital for 8 days, released then back in one day after going home because I had a leak so another surgery to make a colostomy pouch 7 days in this time. My insurance did not want to pay for the supplies for my bags and nurse, it was horrible.. I had yet another infection serious, was admitted into the hospital once again for another 6 days, then home on IV antibiotics for 2 weeks alson on a machine to help heal my wound. Finally 3 months after my last surgery I had another surgery to re connect my colon and get rid of the bag. Hooray! It worked, but 3 months later I developed a hernia from all the surgeries and had to have ONEmore. so my total surgeries in 11 months was 4. OH MY! I am healthy now and eat anything. I hope you all do well. God .Bless.
