I've been busy with getting my place ship-shape, in case I do need to go in for surgery. If I do, I don't want to come home to a disorganized environment. I've been donating and junking clutter. Got rid of bags and bags of stuff. A professional organizer helped me. Having her help was a great investment. She carted off a ton of stuff, which is part of her service.
My new landlord is so nice. He installed a grab bar near my tub that I wanted and a nice, fancy hand-held shower nozzel that I picked out. After surgery, I would probably need to shower sitting down. Tomorrow I see the upper GI surgeon. Next day, I go back to the colo-rectal surgeon. The bleeding must have stopped because my labs have steadily improved. (Also due to I/V iron infusions.) So I'm feeling perfectly normal . . . for now. Since 2016, I've been on this merry-go-round with recurring severe anemia. I figure I better get stuff done, while I have the strength. Maybe I won't relapse. Feeling this good, it's hard for me to get motivated to go thru major surgery. I will listen carefully to the two surgeons and give what they say a lot of thought. Maybe they will both advise watchful waiting. The downside of waiting is that I might get another bad attack of diverticulitis and wind up with an abscess or perforation. Then I might get surgery on an emergent basis, which is riskier. Ideally, surgery is better done, while I'm feeling really well and strong and not anemic. Thanks to all of you for the support and caring. I've gone through quite an emotional journey from wanting to bury my head in the sand to being able to accept whatever I need to have done. I wish good health to all of you. |

So pleased to read you’re feeling more able to tackle tasks Rose and that’s really good you’ve been decluttering and getting sorted (something I need to do too!). Thanks for updating us.
