I believe I have been having short bouts of diverticulitis not knowing what they were and recovered in two or three days, Two weeks ago, I had the worst pain and could not stand nor walk, Went to ER and the CT scan said diverticulitis with no abscess.
The pain got worse so I went to another ER.. CT scan said diverticulitis with perforation and abscess.
I was admitted and an interventional radiologist drained the abscess. Not fun. I have a rare e-coli and one other infection.
I'm home now on a PICC line and IV antibiotics. Surgeons keep talking me into a resection. I'm 78, have immunocompromized, and very weak. I could not deal with this alone. Has anyone gone to rehab after their resection?
