I mentioned last week that I was feeling a tad poorly for a couple days - missed a day and a half of work with my stomach hurting - particularly on the left side.

So Friday I went to the doctor, and she said that I might have had a minor episode of diverticulitis.  Apparently that seemed as plausible to her as any other cause.  So today - just three days later - I’m finally looking up information on that.  Obviously I’ve felt much better or I would have looked up information immediately.  The doctor gave me two prescriptions, but I haven’t taken either one because I’ve felt okay since then.

Seems that the key to keeping diverticulitis at bay is to eat lots of fiber.  So oatmeal, apples, other fruits, veggies are my new friends.  Getting older is SO much fun.
