Lots of stuff happens, you know how it is : make plans, set intentions etc. plans go out the window: try to recommit to original plans, "ditto" Dad is doing ok, touchwood, he goes in to major hospital in Perth to have skin cancers removed next week , but under a local, not general, which is good because of his age . Over night stay. Some friends of mine, one is a nurse, may help with transport getting Dad to and from hospital. Major hospital is a major PITA to get in and out of. Hope you and yours are doing well HS Glad to hear things are good over there!! My daughter is back in surgery as I write this.. She is getting her ostomy reversed. Hopefully, this will be the end of a nightmare for her. I'm doing well, but haven't gotten my inspiration back to get anything done lol. I have truck parts coming today, so that may help also have to change the oil in my car for the trip to see my daughter tomorrow. Hospitals here are not to bad its just 120 miles away lol. Spring has been wet and rather normal. Amazingly, after our last election, the contrails have disappeared in our skies, and the weather is returning to normal. Prayers for your pops!! Take care, my friend!!!

Thank you!! and yes, it went very well, 6 hours,scar tissue was a big problem, it took two surgeons and they reversed the ostomy, found and repaired a fistula, two hernias, and removed the appendix. Hopefully, she can get her normal life back now, and I won't have to pack that open wound for the rest of her life.

Long drives can add stress to even the smaller medical issues. I just got back from driving my sweetheart to a medical check. First, we drove 5.5 hours away. There we placed the camper. Next day, we drove the remaining 11 or 12 hours south to Edmonton, then back a day later. All went well for her, and I got to stop in Tandy, and Buckskin. Honestly that might have stung more than the drive lol Good for you getting your own oil changed. Quote

That's a LOT of things that needed fixing, though I'm sure the appendix was probably just 'preventative medicine' ! Quote

They think this mess started with diverticulitis, then the botched first surgery drained into her abdomen for 5 days, and left the second emergency surgery just cleaning up the mess and saving her life. This time, she was healthy again, and the doctors could fix all the problems caused by the first surgery; the appendix was partially obstructing their progress somehow and was also removed.

Members Sheilajeanne Posted June 9 Members Report Posted June 9 Yikes! Wishing here a smooth recovery this time around! I used to visit patients in their homes for a living when I was nursing. We didn't get to see the patients who had uneventful recoveries from surgery, of course, so I know what can go wrong! I also have diverticulitis. Haven't had an attack in 6 years. I'm fine if I stay away from things like nuts. Unfortunately , I REALLY love nuts. I can eat them in moderation, but sometimes I don't have the self-control I need. Last attack I had was triggered by being really hungry, and having free access to a large bag of peanuts... Quote
