Well, our Saturday turned out a bit differently than we had planned.
Dave just hasn't felt quite right for the last few weeks. Everything came to a head yesterday.
He was feeling just "off" and then began to experience very sharp pains in his left side. It kept getting worse so I drove us to our "second home" ... ER ... 4 hours worth !
They took the usual labs and then a C scan. The conclusion was what we thought it would be, Acute Diverticulitis. No surgery but good ole Amoxicillan to the rescue.
We both slept fairly well last night and are just taking it easy today, after all Sunday is suppose to be The Day of Rest. Never a dull moment around here !
So, the skies are Dribbling and its gray and blah..a perfect setting for us.
On a different note:
Here is our Bounty of produce from our yard this year. I didn't think we got any but there was one oh so tiny lonely pear on our tree. Now it sits proudly above our sink just defying the odds. 😇
That's all I got today folks,
Always be Grateful
Always be Kind

Glad to hear Dave is ok and glad it was something easy to treat.
I'm sorry for yet another ER visit. Glad things are improving today!
Well thank God Dave was okay! Lovely pear too. :)
Glad you took him and that he's okay. Good to read that.
Oh that dreadful diverticulitis! I haven't had an episode in months and I'd like to keep it that way! Poor Dave - glad he was seen and received the antibiotics. Rest and relax.
What a nice pear! Who gets to eat it? Oh the decisions!
Glad to hear Dave is recovering.
How I dislike the ER! I'm so sorry you both had to experience that 4-hour wait for a diagnosis, but glad they decide to admit him.
Thank you so much for the recipe!
"decided NOT to admit him", I mean!
I am glad Dave was treated and is ok.
I'm so sorry! I used to be in the E.R. every month with diverticulitis. And it was always on the weekend, when all the drunks and car crashes were there. This went on for years. I was admitted so many times. Diverticulitis is NOT fun!!
That's a good looking pear, the best I've seen in a long time.
Sorry to hear about the trip to the ER but I'm glad it wasn't something more serious.
like your pear, I feel us antique people are defying the odds to still be up and moving and alive. yikes on the diverticulitis, it does hurt really bad... ER is a bad word in our house
Glad all it took was an antibiotic. Get well soon. 🎈
oh goodness.. I hurt for Dave. Diverticulitis is nothing to play with. I've had this numerous of times and I know how miserable and sick you can feel. praying for Dave and got you as well to get some good rest. hope the meds kick in fast. the lonely 🍐 I am sure us so proud of itself.. slice it and bake it.. even add butter and brown sugar on top and of course, a dollop of vanilla ice cream.. yum!! loves!!!
I'm so sorry your husband and you had to go through all of that last week. It's good no surgery was required. I always have to take probiotics when taking antibiotics to keep the yeast away. You have a pear tree, how wonderful! You know, pears used to be my favorite fruit as a child, until Cherries took over haha. That photo of the single pear on the sink and looking out your window is delightful. I hope your husband feels better very soon. Have a pleasant November week.

Oh my, I'm glad he is doing okay. The pear looks good. You two take care.
While an ER visit is never a good thing, this time it wasn't as serious as could have been not that diverticulosis is any less painful. ENjoy that bit of producev from your yard 😋
Glad Dave is doing okay.
Enjoy your pear.
