Sending positive vibes that way.

Best wishes from another guy with a short colon. This takes a long recovery.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Had our office manager sick for a couple weeks in the hospital with it a couple years ago. Fortunately she did not have to have an operation, but she was very close to it. For a person that almost never gets sick, she was a pretty sick girl for quite a while and had to change her diet significantly.
Not a fun thing to have.

My thoughts and prayers to Charlie and his family. My dad was in an induced coma for 8 weeks for the same thing. He waited too long and the small intestine ruptured. They had to cut him open, take everything out, wash it and put everything back, after removing a 10" section.
He was in the induced coma so that the Mesentery would regenerate.
That was in the mid 1980's and he is completely recovered - just has to watch what he eats.

No wonder my grandma hammered me on eating my vegetables! "Eat you vegetables our you will get diverticulitis" "But grandma!" (In whiny kid voice)
Prayers for Stickem.

Hang in there, Charlie! God Bless!
And all you PB members over 50: get your screening colonoscopies done. Catching cancer early (and being aware of diverticulosis) are key to having more time fishing and less time at the doctors office or in the hospital.
"Politics": derived from 'poly' meaning many, and 'tics' meaning 'blood sucking parasites'.
