I wish you the best. Get well and listen to your doctor.

I have a friend that recently had to have 1' of his intestines removed due to having damage from Crohn's and eating the wrong thing. That's not any fun, so do what the doctor says, eat the right stuff and get well.

I will pray you have a speedy recovery.

Dang Louie. Hope everything works well for you.

Here's hoping you can get this diagnosed and treated ASAP. Keep us in the loop.

Sorry to hear that. Like Joe, your health comes first - beer is just an enjoyment, like other things, including sex. Get the doctor to write you a script for more sex to take the place of the beer. SWMBO can't argue with doctor's orders...

And, to put a smile on your face, watch this ...Diverticulitus

Thank you everyone for your words of encouragement and your thoughts and prayers. I normally don't share this kind of personal stuff in a forum but this felt different and I felt this place was the right place to share. I'll be going in for my CT soon and will keep you all updated as to what is going on!

Thanks again!

Good luck with the Docs today. Hope all goes well and you get to feeling better soon.

Good luck with the tests and stuff, Louie.

Wishing you a speedy recovery and return to normal. You know how much your units care about you.

Keep us posted you have our support.

That sucks, Louie! Man! If my doctor told me I couldn't drink alcohol any more I think I'd have to...

Well one thing people say about me is when I do something I do it big! By the time I got home my doctor was already calling me to have be go to the hospital to get admitted! Apparently not only do I have diverticulitis but I also manage to get a perforation and abscess and may need to have surgery! I'm waiting in the ER right now for the surgeon to come and talk with me!

What a rollercoaster!

DAMN BOY!!!!!!!!!! You are not kidding!! I was going to say............................ I don't think you want to hear that right now GOOD LUCK!!!!

Spend a few minutes if you can researching the surgeon, and ensuring you're at a good hospital. Surgeons like to cut first, ask questions later. Best wishes.

Sounds to me like your trying for some Bed rest the hard way.
Ever hear of "Vacations"?

If you end up not being able to drink for months, I'd be happy to drive on over to your neck of the woods and bring your beer collection to my basement - I have room, and would gladly sacrifice a 20 mile drive to ensure that the beer is safe. I have no ulterior motive.
