As for his, thank goodness they got him in an did the appendectomy, and he's now okay - when I had my surgery in January they an appendectomy, too, just because they were in the area, so at his age, he should recover quickly. (I did, and I'm OLD.) As for you, I hope things improve quickly. What a bummer! I'm assuming your insurance will cover the test if you use an approved provider. Thank goodness for insurance - can you imagine paying those prices for tests? <br /><br />Take care, rest up, and get well soon! :)Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16516591720277269204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-60100240038070421362012-04-14T16:32:31.951-05:002012-04-14T16:32:31.951-05:00wow..glad things are starting to get better for yo...wow..glad things are starting to get better for you both.

If you research it you will find there are some foods you just need to stay away from. I try hard to do that but once in awhile I give into some of those things but now that i know what was causing my pain I've been able to prevent those episodes. Its all about keeping things from getting caught in those little pouches in the intestines. Glad the antibiotic is doing its thing.

I am surprised that Andy just stayed in the hospital for one day. Sure is different now. At 19 years old I was in there for 2 weeks and had recuperation ordered for another 4 weeks!! It was not ruptured either. They sure kept you in Hospital long in those days. Had to stay in Hospital for 9 days after my first daughter was born. It was a perfectly normal birth ☺☺Verahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07010712914240978913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-1070747794792849242012-04-14T11:51:05.038-05:002012-04-14T11:51:05.038-05:00OMG Judy, your health problems plus poor Andy!

I a...Judy, I am so sorry for all of your problems. I am behind on reading blogs and didn't know what had been happening. <br /><br />Al has been having diverticulitis attacks for a while now. He is finally learning to identify an attack before it gets too bad. He also had to go on antibiotics one time, but the last two episodes we resolved with our home remedy. I did some research online and one site suggested Aloe Vera and Papaya juice, and also drink plenty of clear liquids. The Aloe and Papaya helped him very quickly. We've come to think it was the Aloe more than the Papaya juice. I also read to take the herb, Slippery Elm.<br /><br />He tries to take Aloe every day along with some Metamucil. Of course he eats no popcorn, or any seeds. We think his last bout may have been caused by oatmeal. We didn't realize there were kernels in the oatmeal much like popcorn.<br /><br />Chicken noodle soup also seemed to help the discomfort.<br /><br />I hope you are feeling better by now. It can be pretty serious. We're trying to prevent future attacks.Karen and Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15284661066870109259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-55936039504928976852012-04-14T07:35:20.826-05:002012-04-14T07:35:20.826-05:00Glad Andy's surgery went well and very glad yo...Glad Andy's surgery went well and very glad you are "on the mend."Catherine, Jo Beth and Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06889362286725037937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-47972667261178529912012-04-14T07:28:10.716-05:002012-04-14T07:28:10.716-05:00Glad to see you are feeling better.
