Pills and Pending Addictions
Feeling much, much better. Thanks to all for all the comments and notes – they meant a lot. Despite feeling better though, I have another week or so of pill popping to manage. I’ve got every-twelve-hour pills and every-eight-hour pills and pills-for-when-you’re-writhing-in-pain. Some are with food, some aren’t. Some just taste horrible. One says that I’m supposed to avoid exposure to the sun for the duration – yeah, right. About the only thing on the pills that meshes up is that I take everything when I first get up in the morning. These rest of the pill-times during the day are some of this and some of that. And I haven’t had to take the writing-in-pain stuff since Monday.
Very glad about that. While I could develop a fondness for that IV morphine they were pumping into me Thursday night, I generally stay away from painkillers. Don’t like masking warning signs and symptoms. Obviously I don’t pay much attention to them, but I still like to know they’re there.
But I think we’ve seen all we need to see of diverticulitis around these parts for a while. Nothing else until I get -scoped in a month or two. It’s part of the threatened follow up. Gotta verify the diagnosis, and there’s no better way to that than by checking things out live and in color, so to speak. Yep, time to start promoting that internal porn at Howling Point. You ain’t seen Chuckie this exposed since my prostate cancer.
Semi-related issue: the men in brown are scheduled to delivery my new addiction tomorrow. We’re getting a shiny new Crackberry. Time to rejoin the modern age.
sorry to hear of your ailment chuck.
i couldn’t help but notice the wikipedia statement that diverticulitis generally afflicts the “middle-aged”….welcome to the middle!
so is the follow up scoping you mentioned a colonoscopy per chance?
Hurray for new shinies!
Hope you’re feeling better!
