Something is amiss

I did not have any other symptoms for the first two weeks in October. Then something changed. I kept having issues on Friday night. Saturday would be a miserable day of pain every 3-5 minutes. I fasted and by evening my abdomen would be very tender but the intense pain would not be ripping through my stomach like a knife.

The last Sunday however, things changed. The pain became so severe that I had to leave a part time job early and ask a friend to drive me home from the Howell Nature Center (HNC). (I was a facilitator with HNC working with a treatment program, Accepting Responsibility is Mandatory (ARM)). Now things were getting serious.
