Dear Fine,
Yes indeed we are survivors..... But the "Misfits" just sounds so cute to me..... I see that you live in Ma. Me too, but on the other side of the state. Is it as cold there as it is here?????? FREEZING outside.
So again, welcome:) and join in ANYTIME.....

whats diverticulitis?
ICC
02-06-2007, 10:30 AM
Finegane----diverticulitis is pockets in the colon that collect seeds, nuts, and there are several foods that someone with it SHOULD NEVER EAT!!!! Miss Sid:dizzy: If the pockets collect enough seeds, nuts etc they become inflamed and can also become infected which causes the most horrific pain imaginable and generally calls for hospitalization so the antibiotics can be run through intervenously. sometimes it calls for surgery. I believe our Sid knows what she can't eat and PEANUTS are one of them. Go ahead and laugh Sid, I'm heading to the cookie cabinet as we speak. You promise and I'll promise.
Feel better!

Dear ICC, and Fine,
ICC so correct in your description of my condition. I have had flare ups at least 10 times, and in the past year this is my second.......
Now dearest ICC,
I NEVER GAVE YOU PERMISSION to use my "Bat"....How are the cookies????? OMG I laughed and cried with the pain at the same time......I went to the drugstore last night after talking to the Dr on call, but man I just can't seem to get up the energy to go to the store and BUY what I am supposed to be eating.........Jello. Jello, Jello, cream soup and white rice.... That's the BIGGEST YUCK!!!!!!!!!!! So I just finally had some oatmeal....NOT A GOOD CHOICE!!!!!! But I left out the raisins, and grapenuts.....
As I am sitting here in a somewhat laid back position, (because I can't sit upright) I am thinking that maybe the oatmeal wasn't such a good choice, as the pain is increasing.............................. ......................OH GOD it hurts!!!!!
Hugs guys,
Sid

But my dear Sid I am stronger physically than you right now and slipped it right out of your hand.:p GRAPENUTS:eek: You are as crazy as a June bug! I never touched the cookies. about once a month around the 11th I get PMS though I am well through meno and get that urge especially for chocolate covered pretzels. this way I get the sugar for my diabetes AND the salt for my HBP.:blob_fire Do you think it's our age or are we just nuts:confused: Eat a baked potatoe or some mashed potatoes, some scrambled eggs, whatever you have that you CAN eat until you can get some stuff in. Take it easy too. you know what stress does with this also.
Fell better!

Dear ICC,
Actually a Dr once told me that I was "Crazier than a SH** House Rat on Roller skates."
When I picked up my car last night from the FIX IT, COST ME AN ARM AND A LEG JOINT. I went shopping.... Yup well I bought stuff for salad, strawberries, grapes....hhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmm Need some food?????
A friend called this morning, and she is going to stop and pick up some eggs, jello, and bread for me....YUCK!!!!!!!!! For lunch I found a can of Cream of chicken soup and some white rice. DOUBLE YUCK!!!!!
I just wish that the $175.00 prescriptions would kick in and take the pain away........
going back to bed...
Hugs,
Sid

ICC and Sid,
Ok, I realize I'm a little late on this, but now I HAVE THE BAT! It's an oak Louisville Slugger painted red (my favorite color, so you know it's a love bat).
Anyway, if I'm going to take on the no-more-hacking-on-myself, ICC, you can do NO MORE SUGAR, and Sid, you can try to STOP THE DIGESTION INDESCRETIONS.:nono:
HELLO!
Let's work on this, guys. I love you all so much. Take care of yourselves. I can't bust into your kitchens and inspect your food supplies, but I'm on this board to assert my concern and support. Cut it out! I love you.:wave:
Love and newfound abilities at bat (how'd I do?)
Nikki

Nikki,
I just don't get it.....I am the one with the bat, and then all of a sudden EVERYONE uses it on me....
You did good, but I have to be honest...... I will give up the peanuts....But the raisins and Grapenut cereal are here to stay....There are just some things I can't do without.... For now...... I have an addictive personality.... One time my diet consisted of Jelly beans and rye toast.......Yup SEEDED rye toast.....I don't eat that any more. I will get the grapenut cereal, and raisins out of my system soon, and will be on to a newly discovered food... THAT I JUST HAVE TO HAVE!!!!!!
Love you bunches for the concern....It means alot that you care so much!!!!
I told you that you are my :angel: and you are.....
Hugs,
Sid

Good morning girls-----Ok Nikki you're on. and you are so right. all self destructive behaviour from the 3 of us. Not comparing the severity so please don't think I am. Sid you got it? I got it! Nikki uses the bat well. we are also all addictive in many ways. Nikki, Sid and I have just chosen food at this point because as you age it's about the only destructive thing you CAN do.:jester: So we have a plan. the 3 of us will keep each other safe.
Nikki**** NO MORE SI
Sid***** NO MORE PEANUTS (i'm not happy about the grapenuts)
Grasshopper***** NO MORE SUGAR
This is a pact. If any of us is in trouble and afraid that we may self-destruct we vow to come here and let one of the others help us through it. DEAL??
Love yas,

I've got slight infections in the wounds on my feet. The doctor took a look. I'm ok for now. Definitely more incentive to put an end to the SI.
Nikki
CONFESSION: I have to admit, I had one more indiscretion today. Alone and brooding about the misfortunes of my sucky day, I picked up a couple of hitchhikers. I'll count those dangerous behaviors in with the SI. So let's not count today.:)

Dearest Nikki,
I love the fact that you are honest........Honesty is one of the things that we need to do for ourselves. If we lie to others, we just lie to ourselves......
Let's just say that i hope that there is no more need for CONFESSIONS!!!!!

Nikki---people with PTSD tend to live on the edge. stopping that behaviour is part of the healing and recovery. Confessions, whether to yourself or one of us is the first step. I am so proud of you. I would also like to smack you but won't since you already saw the danger.

I love you for wanting to smack me and telling me so.:wave:
I picked them up because it was dangerous. For that, I should be smacked.
