It is nice to meet you @linda82 . You have a perfect way to handle stress and enjoy your day with gardening. Nothing makes us feel better than time spent in nature. I'm glad your surgery has been successful and Connect was so helpful to you. Severe diverticulitis is tough to live with. Now you will be one of the Connect members who is helping others who are living with it by sharing your experiences.

I don’t have diverticulitis nor do I want it but my mother in law did. She ended up with a large mass in her intestines. She was rolled into the OR, put asleep and the surgeons made the first incision but saw a little flash of reflection. Both surgeons saw it and decided to investigate. Five minutes later she was rolled out of the OR and the surgeons gave her the 3/4” little brass thread of the brush used to clean her charcoal grill. The mass the doc’s saw was an infection and it was surrounding that piece brass which had pierced her intestine. We laughed. Today we laugh. Glad the surgeons were taking their time.

Thank you. This is also the site that helped me make the decision to have the surgery.
