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.
Sending all the best thoughts and wishes your way. Feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteGlad you are healing and feeling better. Be gentle with yourself.
ReplyDeleteDarn, 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?
ReplyDeleteYes, just bland tho. No dairy...darn.
DeleteLovey 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.
ReplyDeleteGlad 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.
ReplyDeleteDrink more water!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWell unless I'm losing my gourd, I missed that you had a medical crises. Hopefully you will recover enough to eat that Mexican food which is so wonderful in CA.
ReplyDeleteThank you dear Mage for you nudge. Finally got a post out.
ReplyDeleteOh, I do feel for you. That is one of the absolute worst pains. So very glad you're on the upswing of things. Do be careful re-introducing your foods... Will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Gentle healing hugs to you. Thankful for G as well!
ReplyDeleteIt seems like you are on the mend. Keep on keeping on, eh.
