Blockage

Mom emailed:

“There was a girl in the hospital Friday that had to have part of her colon taken out due to a blockage. (When you get a blockage, the poop can’t move, the bowel dies and becomes rotten, and you have to have it taken out).

I saw the two blockages — they were dark brown, circular, about the size of a tennis ball and baseball, respectively. Guess what they were? Hair balls!

She eats her hair — just pulls it out and eats it. But it doesn’t get digested, like a cat digesting its own hair. Her hair just rolled up and stayed there, like a huge ball of twine.”
