No this post isn't about my sleep number bed and my attraction to it! It is one of things I missed from home while I was in the hospital the past 4 days.
I think my last post was about the laser procedure for my rosacea. Imagine my surprise when less than a week later I woke up at 3:30am on Thursday with a pain I can't describe in my lower left abdomen. Not waking anyone I made it down 4 small flights of stairs where I tried to self diagnose with Web MD. By the time hubby left for work I was counting down till the Dr. opened.
Once at the Dr. I could almost have kicked or slapped him when he pushed down on my left side. IT REALLY HURT! I really was thinking this was just a bad case of gas and he was going to kinda laugh at me for coming in. Nope was I ever wrong! He then sent me across the street to the hospital - yes my town is that small. There I had a CT scan of my abdomen which revealed a severe case of diverticulitis. I was so infected and so swollen in my colon area that they admitted me on the spot. Do not pass go or collect $200. I was not happy but was after the vicadin!
The next few days were no fun and I won't go into the gory details on this blog. For those of you who know me you can email me to ask. The one thing I will say is that Our Lady through the Hail Mary got me through Friday when I was having panic attacks from the anti-nausea medicine they gave me. I could not open my eyes and could hardly breathe!
Needless to say I am happy to be home even on a liquid diet with my favorite food TOAST!

Not hungry except in the morning. I have almost kicked my addiction to Diet Dew. So now I will be a one can a day girl and the rest will be water, water, water.
In 2-3 weeks I get the pleasure of a colonoscopy. My intestines/colon were so swollen the radiologist couldn't see anything but the swelling.
Aren't you all jealous????
