The Colonoscopy

However, I was told I have diverticulitis which as explained, are little pits in the colon wall and was advised not to eat nuts, sesame seeds and stuff like that because they could get stuck in one of those little pouches and become infected. Stupid thing is, when I woke up in the recovery room, they offered me a snack and a drink. I grabbed a bag of mixed nuts with raisins  and woofed them down with my 7up. Nobody said a thing? But then again, they probably didn't know in there. I found out about 30 minutes later when the dr came in to tell me about it.

I wish they would have never told me about the diverticulitis. I rarely ate peanuts and rarely had sesame seeds and the sorts. Now I am drawn to peanuts and cracking the shells. I eat about a cup a day. Not sure why? Maybe because they told me not to made me start to want it? IDK, I kinda have an addictive personality so maybe that's it.

Easy Harley, my wife suffers from diverticulitis.  When she has a "flare up", she is incapacitated for days, it takes some seriously strong antibiotics to clear it up.  After her last attack, they told her the next step was to have that section of her colon removed..
