Basically, my small intestine somehow looped on itself causing a constriction shutting off all blood flow to it. The surgeon said that when she opened me up, the whole small intestine looked dead. When she removed the constrction, she was actually surprised that it all "pinked up" again. She said I was very lucky we got there in time because she did not have any way to save me if the intestine had not survived.
