morning everyone.
I am feeling very uncomfortable today and it started last night. I had Diverticulitis about 3 years ago and I am afraid I am experiencing the same symptoms. I thought I might just have a back-up but I took some MOM last night and had no problem going to the bathroom this morning, but still super uncomfortable.
I'm patiently waiting for my mom (retired nurse and has lots of experience with diverticulitis also) to text me back and advise me what to do...I don't know if I should call my PCP, my bariatric surgeon or my gastroenterologist...I really don't want to go to the ER and pay an exorbitant amount of money for them to do a CT scan (which is what they did last time) just to send me home with antibiotics.
QOTD: Story's dance recital is scheduled on Sunday so that's what we are doing for mother's day LOL...my parents and sister and brothers' families are all coming out for the recital then we are all going to my parents' house for a cookout. Saturday we are hoping to get some yard work done as long as it doesn't rain, and hoping we can get the basement organized and fix our mailbox that is tilting precariously ever more and more.
Morning: coffee w/sf hazelnut coffeemate
B: 1/2 C cottage cheese, 1 HB egg, was going to eat a kiwi too but if i do have diverticulitis, the seeds are not a good idea
L: pot luck at work today. not sure yet what I'll be up for but someone brought yogurt parfait so I might just try that...low residue, soft foods today...or I did bring a L&F greek yogurt I could eat if I can't figure out what's in the other parfait.
D: not sure--if I end up going to ER I probably wont eat any dinner...I have some boullion cubes, I might just sip broth all day

So sorry, I hope it isn't diverticulitis but if you've had it once and it feels the same, it probably is. I've heard it is quite painful. Will say a few prayers.

Good morning,
The ENT doctor did something for me, he put tubes in my ears and put me on antibiotic since one of my ears was infected. Yesterday most of the infection was coming out through my eyes. Today they aren?t gunky just swollen but some of the swelling came down already. I put ice pack on them. At least I can hear now. The antibiotic I?m on, I have to take before my vitamins and can?t have much milk products. I figured if I set my alarm at 6am and have my stuff by the nightstand, that will give me the couple hours before I eat. I will only lose one dose of calcium at supper time.when I take that dose of antibiotic.
Didnt have my supper last night, I drank a clear protein shake.
Qotd I'll spend the day with my stepmom on Saturday if I'm feeling better. My dad is taking her to Ruth Chris on Sunday and don't know when they will get home. No plans really.
B ham and cheese omelette and a slice of this sola bread, it?s low in carbs and has protein in it. It didn?t taste bad.
L tuna salad, one piece of sola bread and honeycrisp apple
D steak and onions, mushrooms and peppers
My picture of me first thing this morning
Hope you get to feeling better!!! Prayers said.
