Good morning, friends. The doctor found out yesterday that I had diverticulitis. I learned that most older people had diverticulus but when they get infected everything changes. I read last night what the Mayo clinic had to say online and the severe pain is not an exageration. I´m on antibiotics, diet and some pain drops for pain. And I have to take the pills every time because the result could be bad if I don´t take care. The good part about it is that I called Leticia crying and she is here. Leticia had this same thing just before the pandemia and that is why she stopped working. Now she cleaned my room while she cuddled me and then cleaned the kitchen in a way that I hadn´t seen after she stopped coming to my house. I am in pain but I´m vey happy. She is a dear. Dixie called me to tell me to take the antibiotics at the exact time. It seems that this diverticulitis can get out of hand. See you.

I am actually glad to hear that as once you get it cleared up you can prevent it happening again. My dad would end up in the hospital almost every summer because he was determined to eat tomatoes fresh from the vine. Glad Leticia is there to help and can teach you what to do

I eat a lot of different foods so I can be very happy without seeds. But now I´m not happy at all. I hope this awful pain is over soon.

@marguicha Drink lots of water. They usually hooked dad up to an IV to help flush his system. It was just water

My late mom had that. She really had to watch the foods she ate. I’m sorry you are feeling so poorly.

I met her around 30 years ago when I hired her as a maid. But very soon the relation changed because she was a loving person when my husband was ill. Then, later on she cared for my grandson with cancer, raised another grandson and took care of me when I had a lymphoma. I would not have gotten through chemo if it wasn´t for her. I now feel that she is one of my closest friends.

Diverticulitis is very annoying and there is a risk if there is an infection, that sometimes happens. I had it some years ago, I know it's painful. Take your antibiotics, you will be soon fine.

@marguicha That is wonderful, that she will come over 3 days a week. You need some company and assistance, and hugs. Please rest and do everything the doc says for you to do. We all want you to feel better, Marga.

I know. But I feel better now that I know that Leticia will come to be with me. And she will cook exactly what I need as she had a severe case of diverticulitis years ago.

@marguicha I hope she is able to stay for a while. I'm sure she would be equally as good as any medicine.

Sorry about that. I know of someone who suffers from this and has stomach trouble very frequently. She has to be watchful about what she eats and even the quantity. Take care. Sending positive thoughts and prayers. Leticia seems so helpful, I hope that she can come for help more frequently.
