I'm recovering now from resection surgery because of diverticulitis. No bag needed, just a zipper in my belly. Staples get removed Monday.
Light duty 4-6 weeks.
I was fortunate. I just got home from a 3000 mile trip the day before my infection flared and I went to ER.
Truck safely in the driveway. My backside in my couch. I was lucky.
OP good to hear your doing OK.Dave_in_AZ, Milkrun, NavigatorWife and 1 other person Thank this. -
I was in the hospital for four days with the infection but recovered ok.
Had the resection scheduled for March of last year and all non emergency surgery got cancelled , and the hospital is the last place I wanted to be with covid just getting started. I have asthma , if I get covid im a goner .
did y’all have the surgery after just one episode of diverticulitis?
or did you have several before deciding to get the surgery?Dave_in_AZ, NavigatorWife and truckdriver31 Thank this. -
Maybe 1 hour passed. Had wife drive my to hospital.
Intake interview, before any tests, doctor said I wasn't going home. Surgery 3 hours later when operating team was assembled on a Sunday night.
This was the only symptom I had, other than the 3 previous days I was tired even after sleeping 8 hours.Dave_in_AZ, NavigatorWife and truckdriver31 Thank this. -
