Blocked Intestine

in pain-what do you know about scar tissue after abdominal surgery?
i had my apendix out about a year and half ago and three weeks ago i was is the hospital where they gave me an enema for a blocked intestine because of scare tissue and sent me home with lets see what happen. yesterday i started again with an attack and i gave myself an enema. i am not sure when is it nessceary to go back into the hospital-i think they may want to do surgery to repair the block but last week when i spoke to my family doctor about she said any abdominal surgey increases the risk of more scar tissue build up--so whats the best way to manage this, still in pain

10 years ago my small intestines were cut by the seatbelt and was supposed to die, after operations every year
I have no stomach muscles. I have mesh in my stomach. I have always had to almost yearly have my mesh operated on as it breaks open and I look like I'm pregnant, but I'm alive thank goodness, and they said I would always hurt with all the scar tissue. For the past year, where part of my mesh is broken, and also, I've been getting constipated and told my dr. which told me to take a vegtable laxative two a day that that wouldn't hurt me, but would help, it doesn't nothing helps, and I can feel where the mesh has broken, exactly where the food sits after it leaves my stomach, and it hurts something awlful, and told the dr. but they don't do anything. I'm getting scared, I'm getting a blocked intestine, which happens with hernias, yet the dr.s won't listen and say it's just the scar tissue. and the constipation is getting worse. I literally have to take about five to six laxatives a day and when I do it's water coming out, even when I eat alot, I've lost weight, what do I do?

HELP! Smelly litterbox!?
What is a good clumping litter that will cover smell and will not be dangerous to my kitty if she ingests it (clay litter can block intestines - she has a lot of fur between her toes that litter sticks to and I don't want to take chances). I am using feline pine scoop right now but since she has gotten bigger it just doesn't do anything for odor control - if you don't scoop it within ten minutes the whole room smells like litterbox. I was thinking of trying one of those gel crystal litters - how do those work? It has to be clumping though because I live in an apt. and I don't want to have to carry out the whole box every day.
