@dhorne1955, I can understand why @debbyg’s experience with a bladder infection caught your attention, especially since you had a bad UTI between your two colon episodes. It may or may not be related, but it sounds like an important part of the timeline to share with your gastroenterologist when you see them this week.

You’ve also mentioned continuing tenderness and pain on your left side and not knowing what to do next. It sounds like this appointment comes at a good time. Have you thought about what you most want to ask your gastroenterologist about the continuing pain and tenderness?
