gregg · #17 01-06-2005, 06:41 PM

Wow Rob, great going with the walking!

Rob · #18 01-07-2005, 08:45 AM

Thanks Greg! 22.5 miles is more than I wanted to do but once i get walking it can sometimes be hard to stop.

Don't worry Kim, spring will be here before you know it.

Felt really good to laze about yesterday but I'm not sure I want to walk today either. Laziness comes real easy to me. It isn't very nice out this morning. Not sure if it's supposed to rain later. But temperatures are predicted to reach 60. I might just stay home and do a workout tape and save the walking for the 70 degree days we're supposed to be getting until next friday, starting tomorrow. Next thursday's forecast says 78 degrees.

UH.. i just got 5 inches and more is on the way.. you SURE spring is on the way?
SNOW!

Rob · #21 01-08-2005, 12:39 PM

Thanks Carolyn! I'm bringing about 6 pounds of wings with me to make hot wings and no one else is getting any. LOL Well maybe one each. I figure with all those wings I won;t even look at the carb stuff.

5 inches of snow is enough. Tell it to stop NOW! Be firm.

I did walk 3 miles yesterday. It was a sunless day but it didn't rain. So i figgered I'd force myself to do a couple miles. But then I stopped at walmart where Breyers Carb Smart butter pecan ice cream was on sale ($3.47). Huge Mistake. ended up eating half of it before dinner. AT least I only had a veggie burger with cheese for dinner trying to atone. But i visited my sister last night and had a small square of cake. I think I need to not try so hard to male up for my cheats sionce it seems to lead to only worse cheating. Oh did I mention the crescent roll?

was pet sitting for a friend yesterday and during dinner i began to have abdominal pains. It grew steadily worse so I walked their dog one last time and left about 7:30. The family would be back by 11:00.

Anyway the pain grew steadily worse and came in waves that were so severe I couldn't walk. Finally about 9:30 i called 911 and was taken to the hospital by ambulance. I thought it might be appendicitis since much of the pain was in my lower abdomen on the right side. Luckily it wasn't and when I got to the hospital I began to feel better after an hour or so. But I was extremely dehydrated and they put me on a saline Iv with phenergan. I had x-rays and ct scans and was released at 5 this morning. The diagnosis is diverticulitis. So for the next day or 2 I can only have clear liquids or jello. They've given me prescriptions for several drugs including cipro and another antibiotic ( can';t remember which) and i ned to take them for 10 days.

All in all not a pleasant way to spend an evening. The good news is I'm bound to drop some weight eating consomme and jello! They also gave me phenergan tablets and thay really keep me drugged up. Kind of a walking zombie right now but that will probably help keep me on the straight and narrow.

I have never been in such discomfort in my life. I don't go to the Dr. unless a limb is hanging by a thread but I really was wondering if I wasn't dying last night. Luckily I spared the pooch the trauma of watching me being taken away in an ambulance by waiting for it outside.

Just wanted you all to know why I haven't been here much the past day.

heykim · #24 01-09-2005, 04:06 PM

well i found THIS
interesting... causes may be LOW FIBER DIET along with HIGH FAT with alot of beef..
okay buddy... you gettin in your fiber? when you get over the acute part of this thang... i will be monitoring your food and fiber bubba... so ya better get THOSE stats up for me PRONTO! *stern look*

Rob · #25 01-09-2005, 04:27 PM

According to fitday my fiber content for the past week is 29 grams. Not shabby! I think this incident of inflammation was caused by teh fact that on friday I was at my sister's and she made dinner. I ate 3 of those pillsbury crescent rolls (or was it 4? 5?) which gave me carb cravings and there was a spice cake and i ate a slice of that. So it was a white flour blow out. I can remember other cheats this huge (not many) but none that involved the fiber free white flour. Now don;t get me wrong obviously I have thsoe diverticuli teh website you linked, talked about (thanks by the way) so I can't blame this entirely on white flour. Ah well!

heykim · #26 01-09-2005, 05:17 PM

yeah... i wouldnt THINK it was a spur of the moment reason for it... youre welcome for the link.. had alot of good info eh?

MaryKay · #27 01-09-2005, 08:35 PM

So sorry about your illness Rob. Sounds like it was really rough. Hope you start to feel better real soon.

gregg · #28 01-09-2005, 08:48 PM

heykim · #29 01-09-2005, 08:52 PM

Shelleyg · #30 01-09-2005, 09:51 PM

Feelin' better yet, Rob?
I left ya a message in the mod's forum...
Clear liquids aren't that bad if that's the only choice ya have...use your imagination...and yes, beer IS a clear liquid, but a big NO NO for your ailment...LOL.
Keep your fluid intake up...jello, broth, apple juice, gator-ade, popsicles, GREEN TEA, etc.
Sorry, but you WILL get the nurse lecture from me...LOL

Get Better soon!
