Well, I just got back from the hospital and I thought I would share some of my suffering. A couple years ago I was diagnosed with diverticulitis, a condition that affects the colon which can cause severe digestive problems. Sometimes this can be controlled by diet but unfortunately not in my case. So, this past Friday I checked in to Banner Estrella Hospital to have corrective surgery.
Let me just tell you that a lot of unpleasant things happen in hospitals, and although the doctors and nurses were very nice I couldn't wait to get out of there. The needles don't bother me (I have lots of tattoos), but the pain and inactivity really wore thin. The worst part was the catheter and I will probably have nightmares for the rest of my life about that little experience. Oh well, here's to a speedy recovery and (from now on) a healthy happy colon.
