Diverticulitis Mood
Wednesday, June 10, 2009 | A General Update story

I see it has been almost six months since I posted in My Journal here.  I had been doing pretty good.  I took a 4000 mile road trip to Minnesota and Wisconsin to meet with my children and grandchildren and hold a Memorial Service for my husband in the church we belonged to for many years.  

 

After I got back home I had knee replacement surgery on my right knee.  The rehab for the knee was going along very well with lots of compliments from people about how well I was doing.  The major problem was the difficulties I was having with my digestive system which I think were brought on by the pain medications I received after surgery.

 

My appetite would fluctuate and finally last Sunday  I had constant pain the symptoms were just like the diverticulitis attacks I had two years ago.  I had surgery to remove a portion of my colon and reattach it two years ago.  The diagnosis was diverticulitis which is very disheartening as I had hoped those problems would be over after the surgery.
