Colonoscopy this week went well. Nothing cancerous… but it did reveal another condition: Diverticulosis ….small ‘side sacks’ on the colon that can sometimes become impacted and infected, when it is then called ‘Diverticulitis’ and is extremely painful… as I found out the day after my colonoscopy when the first food hit my gut.
Imagine having an infected, open wound on the inside of your colon. Hospital ER did a great workup on me with the aid of the fresh colonoscopy report. I’m on antibiotics and three different pain killers, and maybe I will sleep tonight.
Dammit… now I gotta watch my diet. More fiber. More hydration.
