some days are golden
Well, I had my colonoscopy today. Although I didn’t come through as shiny as I’d hoped, it certainly wasn’t as bad as it could have been.
No cancer (whew!)
No polyps (whew!)
Turns out I have a diverticular disease. I’ll get the details of how to treat it when I see the GP in a couple of weeks, but basically I think it’s going to mean eating lots of fresh fruit and veggies and a high fibre diet.
H’m. Where’ve I heard that before?
Is this the universe’s way of making me lose weight?
Funny how yesterday, when I was not allowed to eat because of the medication, I could. Why can’t I have such focus every day? Why can’t I break it all up into separate moments of understanding that controlling what I eat is best for me?
Just a short blog tonight. Still tired from the sedative, though I did nap all day.
Thank you, everyone, for your thoughts and comments.
I’m so glad there was no cancer or polyps, yippee!! I don’t know much about diverticulitis, but hopefully it is something you can manage through a healthy diet alone!
So glad everything is okay, Feathers! On the bright side, you may find that having to stick to a healthy diet for medical reasons makes it easier. Somehow, being told that we have to do it makes it a little easier to stick with it.
Rest now, and take it easy. The colonoscopy is behind you.
Oh, so good to hear! Sending you warm and relieved hugs,

Wonderful photo, but more importantly, wonderful news. Maybe what Patty said ties in with your comment about being able to focus when you knew you had to for a medical reason.
Rest, sweet dreaming and warm hugs…
I’m so glad you got “good” results… “good” being a relative since you’ve still got the diverticular issues to deal with, but what a relief!
Oh what a relief!
You’re right - some days are just plain golden and need to be savored, cherished and maybe brought back out to remember that not all the days are grey.
Happy to have you here lady

YAY to “good” results.
I’m so happy to hear you passed the test. So I guess all that studying really paid off?
Seriously though, this is great news & even if the doctor tells you to eat nothing but sticks & twigs from now on, this will still be the best possible news!
Cheers!
