I have had bowel obstructions twice after surgeries in the past, and have had a partial blockage, not associated with surgery, that resolved on its own before. I am having the same type of symptoms. Only extremely thin, worm-like, sparse stools; now only mucus. I know to not; have not eaten since a couple of eggs this morning. Tender abdomen but not terribly so. Can I wait til morning to go to the ER? I have factor V and XI deficiencies; surgery in the abdominal area results in severe bleeding so I am not anxious to go to the ER
