The End of the (Intestinal) Line
Feb. 8th, 2022 05:37 pmWell, I guess it was inevitable.
My wife suffered yet another bout of diverticulitis pain, and her gastroenterologist finally called it: she needs surgery. You can only go so long with antibiotics before you have to address the source of the damage.
Fortunately, there doesn't seem to be that much damage. We were afraid that a few feet of colon had to be removed; but apparently, there's only a ten inch section of scarred tissue that's the problem. She'll have laproscopic surgery in late March; it'll take three weeks for a full recovery.
We're all a little nervous; but I hope it'll be better for her in the long run.
