Good morning Mel, and all my ladies. I'm sorry to say you might not see me as often today
mom is sick had to take her to the hospital in the middle of the night. She was complaining of lower left abdominal pain. The doctor told us this morning that he thinks she has diverticulitis after she explained her symptoms to him. The CTscan confirmed it was indeed diverticulitis. He said I brought her in at the perfect time and that all she needs at the moment is antibiotics, iv fluids, pain meds, and no food by mouth so that her intestines can relax; at least until the swelling goes down. I'm just happy that it is not worst, he said in cases like these, something the intestines may rupture because of swelling, infection at the site which requires emergency surgery. Sorry for the extra long post but I really do consider specktra like my family.
