My CTE scan results.

[TheVTCGuy]

I thought I had a decent pain tolerance, with chronic prostitus you kind of have to. And, for being 57, I’m in pretty damm good shape. Well the last week and a half at times I have been curled up in the fetal position, praying for a meteor to come crashing through the roof and take me out. Yesterday I got my cat scan results, and it confirmed: Diverticulitis. MAN, is it painful. Yes, to be honest, that’s why I went out and bought the Tumi I had been drooling over for a while, one of those: “Why the hell not!?” moments; (but I do LOVE that briefcase ). Today was horrible. HAD to start with the pain killers not long after I woke up. There is not much that can be done, antibiotics, pain meds, and at the Docs this afternoon I had a shot of tordol(?) a very powerful anti inflammatory, it helped quite a bit. I have to ride it out until the inflamation dies down. It’s aggrivating because I read the common promoters of getting an attack are: Obesity, heavy smoking and no excercise. WHY ME THEN!? I am none of those. This is my first bout with it, and I am praying my last.

Sorry for the complaining, and I should be grateful the scan did not reveal anything more serious, but I would really like to hear from anyone that has/had Divertics. Can you recommend remedies that help with the discomfort? And advice or stories of how long your attacks last? Anything to share is appreciated

I am in Painkiller serenity land and numb everywhere right now, so taking advantage and going to sleep (for the first time in several nights). Thanks for listening everyone
