I thought I was going to Die.

It was an Impacted Colon. A mass, about the size of my fist, had collected in my Rectum, just short of the Anus. No amount of squeezing, or straining, would push it through. I won't go into the gory details, but the next 24-hours were a living Hell for me. The Pain was almost unbearable. I made all kind of promises to God....and a Catholic Saint....Padre Pio.
Today I am feeling great, and my Bowels are working normally. I had, and still do at times, Hemorrhoid bleeding when passing Stool, but it's only been a couple of days.
During the Crisis my Bladder wouldn't empty. I guess it was from the pressure. It was a strange feeling...having to go, but couldn't......WY
P.S. By the way, all of this happened during my recent 4+ days of Water Fasting.
