3 days in hospital--I feel like Hell.

I’m sorry these replies are so short, but I’m truly wrecked, here.

Not in am “intoxicated” sense–I don’t indulge–both physically & mentally.
Gonna be a while, before I’m on my feet.

Sorry to hear you are suffering, Bosda. Hope you get the rest and treatment you need and are able to be well again!

My first and so far only diverticulitis attack was about three years ago. I was fortunate to not need hospitalization, but the fever and side effects of the thermonuclear strength antibiotics did me in. I didn’t get back to work for about two weeks, so listen to your doctor and don’t push it.

My first symptom was cramping and diarrhea, which ended with me crapping blood. If you want an adult male to go directly to medical care, do not pass Go, just have blood come out of places it shouldn’t.

Of course you are. You’ve been through a lot. Take good care of yourself and get plenty of rest.

Finished Dinner–when I picked my meds at the Kroger Pharmacy, I bought a Deli Chicken, roasted.
That, plus applesauce, high fiber bread & grape juice was last night’s dinner, & this night’s too.

Sits well.

Glad I was smart enough to grab one. Saves trouble.

Everyone other than that poster speaks English fluently.

I hope you’re feeling better soon. Take care.

UPDATE–SURGERY.

Apparently, Mr Gallbladder is a spy & a traitor.
He must go.
