Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / May 2004Purrs for my old/new Love
John is in the hospital. He has (they think) diverticulitis. I'm not convinced of that since he said he felt something "pull" while helping a guy carry something. Hernia, anyone? Tests show it's not appendicitis and he is convinced he will be able to go home tomorrow. I offered to come over - it's a 7 hour drive but half an hour by plane. He said no, he'll be out in the morning. Okay, get some rest. Meanwhile, I'm not sleeping. He insists we don't cancel his show or our plans to meet next week yet, but dammit... just when things were going right... At least the neighbor is taking care of his fat cat, Kidder. Jill Purrs John is well soon.

I don't know what diverticulitis is, but if he felt a "pull" while lifting something, that certainly sounds like a muscle or tendon injury to me. > Tests show it's not appendicitis I can't imagine how it could be appendicitis. That's an infection, and usually causes fever, nausea, and other systemic symptoms, in addition to intense pain. If he's not sick as a dog, aside from the pain, that's very unlikely to be the cause. > He insists we don't cancel his show or our plans to meet next week > yet, but dammit... just when things were going right... Hey, Jill - if your relationship has a good future (and good present as well), this sure isn't going to stop it! But I'm sorry to hear that he's not feeling well, and my three furballs send purrs for a quick recovery. Joyce > I don't know what diverticulitis is It is when there is a small pocket in the intestine which becomes irritated and inflamed - often exacerbated by things like sesame seeds, poppy seeds, tiny things which get in there and irritate it causing pain and yes, sometimes an infection. I had (another) friend who had to have part of her intestines removed as a result of this, so I'm a tad concerned. , but if he felt a "pull" while > lifting something, that certainly sounds like a muscle or tendon > injury to me. I still think he has a hernia, which isn't much fun either. > > Tests show it's not appendicitis > > I can't imagine how it could be appendicitis.

I worked with a woman who did not have a fever or nausea - she developed some pain in her right side and she had just started a new diet... she said she thought she was just hurting from being hungry! Next thing she knew, she was doubled over and her appendix had to come out. > Hey, Jill - if your relationship has a good future (and good present > as well), this sure isn't going to stop it! [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Joyce I agree re the hernia theory. "burning pain" is what they've been telling me in the xray room for 30 years when lifting or pulling something gave them a hernia (inguinal - at groin area). One can live w/this condition but sooner or later it will require surgery to replace the herniated (pouched-out) bowel section back where it belongs, behind the musculature protecting it. : > I don't know what diverticulitis is : [quoted text clipped - 30 lines] : > : > Joyce Jill what did you do to him? just kidding, hope he gets better soon, Purrs from Wilson and I Jean.P. > John is in the hospital.

Purrs and healthy thoughts and wishes for your once and again boyfriend, Jill. Please keep us informed on how he's doing. Rob had a hernia repair done during his second trip to Korea. His dr timed it so that he'd be able to heal while on his trip home for leave. Can you say "no sex?" I knew you could... Pam, Rob, and the NC nine > John is in the hospital.
