Jill: more update from Andy
outsider wrote in
: Thanks. This info helps. My doc was pretty good this time too but I have some work work to do so will update you a bit later. The soup problem is even worse since I also put barley in it and can eat the whole pot I love it so much but I do up some mushroom and pepper soup which fits the low res a bit better. Glad to see your on the mend too. More later. Andy Jill Surgery for me is still not definite. My doctor thinks I may just need to heal a few more weeks. I am supposed to get permission for another cat scan Sat or Sun but I have not gotten that yet. I also shoud hear about my white count today. The guy who did my colonoscopy had to go to India because his mother died and my doctor does not know if we have all of his notes but in either case my doctor is not 100% convinced my infection was caused by my diverticulosis! I am not sure about that and not sure it matters but he things it may be totally incidental. When they first saw the large mass on the cat scan they though it was cancer. They even said "probably". Whe the first white count came back at 17K it was good news. So I am returning to the low res diet in hopes of easing my "motion" and I really hope I don't have to go back to the hospital unless and until they do surgery. Let me know what source (if electronic) you use for your diet. I have a list of food but not suggested amounts and it sound like you have amounts. Thanks and keep getting better, Andy |

I feel good, thanks! The surgeon wants to let my system get "back to normal" before scheduling my surgery. I'm to call immediately (day or night) so he can call in antibiotics if any of my symptoms return in the meantime. I've been off the liquid diet since before I was discharged from the hospital. I have to eat a low fiber diet for a while. snip Jill Lots of purrs, Polonca and Soncek |

I was going to ask you about all of this because I am having problems dealing with the medical system here. My doctor was away when I was admitted to the hospital but I don't think that is a good excuse. The gi doc who did the colonoscopy is now in India with a family emergency so I met with his boss but not one of my doctors seems to know what to tell me to do. I was told to go back to normal foods but as I started dialing in more fiber I think I started getting "stopped" up again. every time I see a doctor it cost me a day fo work and a bunch of money. snip Lots of purrs, Polonca and Soncek |
