Some time ago I had written, 'Gusti, panjangaken usus
kawula.' Lord, extend my intestines. In the Java language, 'long intestines'
means patient. People who have long intestines are patient. And that's all I
asked, to be patient. I forgot why I asked for additional patience then.
A week later the God grant my plea. I was trained to be
patient. And in the true meaning, my intestines were really stretched,
straightened from abnormal conditions: twisted.
Various comments came from friends about my situation. Some
say I've worked out too much. Others said I did too much twisting and folding
in yoga. Hm ... make sense ... NOT!
Mysterious ileus.
"Ileus (Paralytic ileus, adynamic ileus) is a condition
where the normal movement of contraction of the intestinal wall temporarily
stopped. As a mechanical blockage, ileus intestinal contents also in its way,
but rarely ileus caused perforation."
The result of browsing here and there, ileus may be caused
by an infection, tumor, severe diarrhea, outside the intestinal abnormalities
(eg, renal failure or abnormal electrolyte levels), an underactive thyroid
gland. In my case, the intestinal twisted because there are parts of the
intestine that should be down, permanently attached to the gut above it and
formed a connective tissue. At the point where it occurs, it clogged.
