Something must be wrong. You can't look like this and have a granddaughter like the picture you posted earlier.

Naaah. Just diverticulosis :-(

Getting a little grey, are we?

Well that settles the question of whether you're full of yourself. You just told us you're an asshole, right? ;) Nice to know I'm not alone here.

So she inherited her grandmother's looks. Nothing strange about that.

At the very least you could've warned us that it was a huge file.

(At work with our multimegabit/s feed, I can't get into the newsgroups.)

No offence, and maybe its just my low res monitor, but it looks like a grey picture of some kind of worm???

Confused,

How'd they find it. I mean, what were your symptoms?

Sudden onset of constipation, usually a sign of colon cancer, but I gather that diverticulosis can be bad enough by itself if it proceeds to the "itis" stage

Ouch, sounds painful. How'd they solve the problem?

There wasn't any pain EXCEPT during the Barium Enema with AIR.

I have to go in and discuss treatment with my Doc, but I gather there's not much you can do except up your fiber intake.

Diverticulitis, the infected stage, causes extreme pain, and is treated with antibiotics... perforations require emergency surgery :-(

I read in sci.electronics.design that Jim Thompson wrote (in ) about 'OT: The Real Jim Thompson', on Thu, 19 Aug 2004:

A medical student I used to know recommended standing on your head. Permanently. (;-) Medical students have a whole galaxy of such radical treatments.

Fibers, fibers and fibers (Fruit, juice, vegetables). Dump the white bread. Reduce wine intake if > 3 glasses/day. Start the day with a reasonable breakfast. And try to walk. And don't let your house doctor lull you into believing you have a summer flew, when you have severe belly pain. And go the toilet, when you feel the urge, don't delay, not even a minute, which is difficult when having fun at the computer.

Above 'rules' are all equally important.

How big are the glasses of wine ?:-)

Ah, one post saying Jim has worms!!! :^)
