I've been in that place, where you try to ride out some pain, and then you cross that threshold where the pain has taken over & the only thing that makes sense is heading to the ER. <br />Glad you did, but it's always an adventure. <br />Not necessarily one you want to remember. <br /><br />I'm on a shitload of meds & vitamins I take. <br />I got so tired of trying to remember, that I finally typed up a list on the computer & keep it in my wallet. <br /><br />When the medicos ask "what meds are you on", I whip out the list . which has the name & the dosing, and tell them here- this is just easier. I put the date on the top so I can remember when it was last revised. <br /><br />Every now & then I update it. <br />It's been great to have & makes it easy for them too they can just photocopy it for my file. <br /><br />Something to do while you are laid up & not in agony.Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14198689517878201943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5954604416278665691.post-54698604954385813972010-03-15T03:53:58.172-06:002010-03-15T03:53:58.172-06:00well, DVR problems aside, at least you are at home...well, DVR problems aside, at least you are at home and resting. the very last place you want to be with an infection is in the hospital ... they are breeding grounds for infections and should be avoided at all cost when one's immune system is down.<br /><br />glad to see you are back to writing here ... i've been quite worried about you.anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11950712894174167863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5954604416278665691.post-59860541170934002362010-03-14T13:42:49.525-06:002010-03-14T13:42:49.525-06:00Thank you all for your condolences. I'd feel ...Thank you all for your condolences. I'd feel bad enough just recovering from the diverticulitis, but now I have some fucking virus that is probably just a cold, but I'm running a fever and everything pisses me off.<br /><br />I can do little but lie in bed and watch tv, but the new DVR comcast delivered the morning I ended up going to the ER won't record. When I got home from the hospital it stopped even broadcasting a picture/recording or not. Another DVR was install and seemed to be working fine. This morning I get nothing but snow. So they sent out another tech, who after tinkering with it got a picture. It was nothing I did. The TV was on channel 3. So I take a nap because I have a fever and have absolutely no energy or appetite and light hurts my eyes. I wake up to watch a bit of TV and again with the snow. They are sending out another tech.

Seltzer water with a little Pom pomegranate juice is really good, too. Just in case you get tired of the tea and coffee.

It's nice when you have something wrong with you when someone who's had some experience with the illness can clue you in to a few things.<br /><br />LeAnn I'm so glad to see you.

I'm not surprised it had similar symptoms to appendicitis - my appendix ruptured and abscessed when I was in my 20s and the symptoms sound very much the same.<br /><br />My father-in-law had an abscess last year and had to be operated on - this after he almost bled to death from a diverticula that apparently burst in some way 6 months earlier, resulting in surgery. Not fun.<br /><br />I'm sure your doctors had to be careful with the Coumadin in your system and probably tried to avoid surgery...will be hanging on waiting for Part 2.Mauigirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15529827915262851910noreply@blogger.com
