I am in the Hospitol again! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Classic Heartbeat · 08-05-2013, 01:57 AM

Been in the hospitol since last wednesday with diverticulitus again. 2nd time this year. I may have a tube inserted into my abdomin tomorrow to drain the infection. It seems like all the antibiotics has caused me to develope a shell around the infection instad of absorbing it. Painfull thing to go through so I am not looking forward to it... Anyway if parts slow a little, just know I will be back to full swing by the end of the weak. That is unless they decide it to be in my best interest to remove part of my colin...

My mom has had that a couple of times, it's awful. Take it easy and get better

Wes,worry about your health,without it parts aren't gonna make much difference.I hope you get to feeling better soon.My sis went thru this last year and it's no fun.

**richard2717** · 08-05-2013, 01:05 PM

My next door neighbor just went thru this within the last week. They had to remove about 40% of his colon and he is only about 40.

Classic Heartbeat · 08-05-2013, 05:41 PM

After another catscan we realy don't know much more that we knew befor. They are going to wait untill tomorrow and see if I am well enough to go home on oral antibiotics to try to heal up well enough to have a colanoscopy. Then figure out what to do from there. If not then surgical intervention will be in order..... Sucks big time..... WES

zeeklu · 08-05-2013, 07:50 PM

Hope you feel better buddy. Get well soon, Chris

chevyboy55 · 08-05-2013, 08:15 PM

Classic Heartbeat · 08-06-2013, 01:22 AM

I lost something today. I don't know what it is but it's gone. I don't know if it was the stress of the day 5, I-vs, the cat scan or what. My I-V isn't even working right. I am just ready to go home and let whatever wants to happen happen. I don't feel good! WES

Classic Heartbeat · 08-06-2013, 06:15 AM

Woa!! Ignor that last post... I must have crashed big time off of the morhine they have been giving me. I accedently pulled the I-V out of my arm today so I was without it for a couple hours. Then once the I-V was restarted I had decided I wasn't going to use the morphine so a mini crash happened. (I think) Whatever it was it wasn't fun, but I am feeling somewhat better now. WES

Good. Quit pulling IV out.Thought you were delirious for a few.

Classic Heartbeat · 08-06-2013, 08:51 AM

When Doc comes to see me today, I hope to be reliesed to go home. I will have a couple of weaks of antibiotics to take, but I should be able to take them oraly. I will also be on some sort of liquid diet, but I will be home. WES

Slow Build · 08-06-2013, 03:16 PM

I had a few bouts with diverticulitis in the late 90’s. I finally had about 18” of my colon removed in 2001 and haven’t had any problems since then. I feel for you.

When you go in for your colonoscopy make sure they give you Versed (pronounced ver-sed). You have to be awake during the procedure but the Versed gives you complete amnesia so you don’t remember a thing.

Good luck and take care.

**Palf70Step** · 08-06-2013, 06:32 PM

Hope things go well for you and you are about and about soon.

GMCjunkie · 08-07-2013, 07:36 AM

Alright buddy, you need to quit messing around and get better! Seriously though, your post scared me. Wes, you are a strong brave guy. You have a HUGE support team. Just take it one day at a time and do what the docs tell you to. You are in my heart and thoughts today!! Get better friend!!

xoxo junk

alsriv2 · 08-07-2013, 04:28 PM

My Dad has this condition. Started when he was 36 and he is now 71. Through the years he has lost most of his large and small due to his condition and causes.

I will keep you in my prayers as this is not a fun thing to go thru.

Take care.

dubie · 08-08-2013, 12:57 PM

i hope you're on the mend soon Wes. My mom struggled with the same disease a few years back and it's tough to see some one go through that. She ended up curing it by turning vegetarian and seeking out a Bowen Therapist. 3 years later, she is symptom free living a healthy life and took her credentials to be a Bowen Therapist. I encourage you to check it out man.

63burban4x4 · 08-10-2013, 07:29 PM

I feel ya, man. I suffered for over 15 years with the condition, and unless you've had it, you just can't imagine. I was hospitalized 3 times for it, fighting the infections. After seeing a close friend nearly die from it, I finally had 10" of my colon removed in 2004. It wasn't fun, but it COMPLETELY solved the problem. Now I eat anything and everything, and NEVER have any issues. Given the chance to do it over again, I wouldn't have waited so long. I had a GREAT surgeon. Best of luck to you, hope you can overcome it once and for all.
