Gratefully...



It’s been a slow seven days following doctor’s orders.  Drink lots of fluids, bland diet, and rest.  I even managed to lose weight on that regimen much to my pleasure.  I am very grateful that she didn’t hospitalize me.  When my friend Bobbie suggested I look up the treatment for diverticulitis, I noted hospitalization and surgery were the next steps.  No thank you.

My own library supplied enough real nutrients to keep me going.  Space opera though juvenile, was right there for an easy read.  George kept me fed most meals though we now are officially out of most bland foods.   Bland is not me if you know me.

I will miss the Pride parade this weekend, darn it.  (Above is one of the oldest AIDS Walk signature panels beautifully recreated by one of Sister Margaret’s sewing ladies.)  Monday I will creep back into life….back to the gym, back to work Wednesday, and lastly back to Comic Con on Friday.

  • Himself:  He’s worked his own job this week, even went to the gym.  Starting into a high protein diet again.


  • Herself:  Sleeping an awful lot.  I have read all your blogs but left few notes.  They wouldn’t have made sense anyway.  Terribly sad about Nice.


  • Reading:  Lots of space opera.


  • Gratitudes:  That I’m getting better.

    3. Darn, darn, darn. So sorry because you have been so good about your diet. I like puddings and spaghetti with olive oil. Are those on your diet?

    4. Lovey attractive quilt! Sorry you've been under the weather but glad you're on the mend. Have had some abdominal issues myself for several weeks & not just sure what as i do have diverticulosis. Not a stretch to think could be more but not as severe as what you must have experienced.

    5. Glad you are on the mend. Diverticulosis is rough. rough, rough. It was good you had some lit light to help grab your attention from the miseries. Every little bit helps.
