    I had diverticulitis earlier this year. Aside from abdominal pain, I also developed a fever... I ended up staying in the hospital for two nights hooked up to antibiotics before I was released. Whatever it is, I’m glad you’re taking the initiative of having it looked at.

    The doctor wanted me to get the catscan within a day or 2 at the most. Friday was the soonest I could get in to get a catscan. It hasn't gotten worse or I would have gone to the ER. But, its been the same and its a bitch.

    Hopefully it’s not gastrointestinal issues.

    I had to have my large intestine removed in 2010. It was shitty

    Damn. Sorry man. You gotta use a c bag now? That sucks.

    It feels like it might be possibly intestinal, but more like my appendix or pancreas...could also have to do with hiatal hernia surgery I had last year

    No colostomy bag. Had one for about 6 months before they gave me a J pouch which is internally.

    Was in the hospital for 2 months and had 4 surgeries though so it was pretty intense.

    Definitely should go see a gastro specialist if things persist.

    But yeah the hernia might be the culprit.

    I dont think its acute appendicitis...I would be dead by now probably

    But it could be chronic appendicitis. A few years ago I had a CT. They found I had an appendicolith though my appendix was borderline stable, and they decided not to mess with it.

    A dog scan is just a wet cold instrument shoved in your crotch.

    Okay, got to kill time until then. What to do, what do, just can't decide so I'm going to use my usual escape mode and take a nap. Hey, I'm old and God knows I can use all the beauty rest my sorry ass can use. Good night.

    Can you livestream the catscan here? There's precious little entertainment now on days that Rudy isn't giving a press conference.
