Operation due soon
Posted , 4 users are following.
ifirst posted on this site about 2 months ago soon after I had found out that I had diverticulosis. At that time I was considering wether or not I should take the advice of the consultant surgeon and have a bowel resection operation. It did seem a bit extreme as I had not yet suffered a serious episode of the condition.
Well, I agreed to have the operation and I am due to have it on Wednesday of next week, 7th October. And now that date can't come quickly enough. Over the last 2 weeks I have suffered a series of acute attacks of diverticulosis and for the first time it's caused me to take time of work. So it seems that the consultant's prediction that it would only get worse has been proved correct very quickly and I have made the right decision to go ahead with the operation.

You will be uncomfortable for a few months ,if you have to have a bag attached .
but then , you will be free from the bane of your life,and mine. I was a whisker
away from the op, last week, when an abcess burst,,in my colon, a lorry load
of antibiotics.cured it, so I still have the yard or so of offending colon.
So, wishing you a good outcome from your op. and no doubt we will lose a

have an operation delayed, I do not have to have one, because the
drugs killed the bugs ,thankfully.The only thing I have to have done.
is another colonoscopy, the short one ,
I feel really well and obviously happy the pain has gone.
I have just read your info about your delay, as you say ,you will
have to be a patient patient. one good thing, is the surgeon does
not regard you as urgent.

The only fly in the ointment is that the surgeon has postponed the operation until next Saturday, because he has a more urgent case that he has to. See to on Wednesday. So I'll just have to be patient just a little while longer.
