You are in the best place. It must be worrying but try and think positive. Xx

You are in the best place and I’m offering a handhold.flowers
DH had a bowel resection many years ago because it had perforated and urgent action was needed.
I hope that constant monitoring will ensure that as soon as anything needs doing, it can be done.
Of course you are worried but try not to be frightened.
I have always held to the belief that the medics have seen it all before and dealt with it. Good luck!

I don’t know anything about this but didn’t want to pass by without saying that I hope you feel better soon. flowers

Feeling totally down. Was admitted to local hospital on Wed's with diverticulitis. I'd had a colonoscopy 20 months ago which perforated my bowel antibiotics and careful monitoring for sepsis and I came out the other side thank heavens. Wednesday admitted and after CT scan diagnosed with diverticulitis which has perforated my bowel. I'm feeling very down and frightened. Anyone else had this? I'm holding my own at mo but so worried. Thanks
