Granny's gone and done it again

Hi Everyone! I'm baaaaaccccckkkkk!

Sorry I haven't been around much. The past three months have been a bit bizarre for me. In September I wound up in the ER due to severe abdominal pain that was so severe my husband found me on the bathroom floor vomiting. I couldn't stand. It finally eased and then I spent some memorable time on the Porcelain Thrown that ended with my having an intestinal bleed. They did a CT scan of my abdomen and told me I had gastritis and colitis but it turned out to be more than that. Referral to a GI specialist, colonoscopy and endoscopy of my stomach later and I learned that the problem was Diverticulitis, diverticular colic and yep, still have the gastritis. I've had to change my diet completely which i can deal with. The problem is chronic so my goal is prevent further flares.

The weird thing is that the diverticulitis was causing my back pain that nobody could figure out. So my back is better. It will never be great but better I can live with.

But the big thing is that this caused me to step back and hit the reset button. God was good. He gave me a diagnosis that didn't include the big C word. It's up to me now to make sure I do as the doctors tell me.

So I haven't been on the forum as much. I'm relaxing more. I'm enjoying my flock which is doing very well and make me smile every day. I'm spending more time on other hobbies that I enjoy, everything from rockhounding to art and most of all spending more time with my husband and our pets and basically making the most out of every day.

Life is good.

Welcome back! That does sound very chaotic! Hello, I am cherrynberry, but a lot of people call me Cherry. I do like it when my friends call me that. I am fairly new to Granny's thread, but I love it here! Granny and all the other regulars are really nice people and I am honored to be apart of this group.
