Welcome September!


What a day to start out the month that brings us into the fall season here in Vermont. Rainy and chilly this morning, I wore a quilted vest to my appointment.

Today was my diverticulitis episode CAT-scan follow- up test. Of course the inflammation is long gone from last May (after I took the few antibiotics leftover from a flare-up years ago). It’s over and done with. 

I am thrilled I made it without any major anxiety. The autumn weather even feels refreshing. Have you say though, I’d be happier if it was  hot summer day.

For now, a pleasant nap is in order as I only had barely 3 hours sleep last night.

Have a wonderful day!

  1. The summer has been too hot, I'm so pleased September is here and I am hoping for cooler days.
    Hope your appointment went well.
    But ... oh dear three hours sleep last night! Have a good nap!

    All the best Jan

  2. I've had two really bad bouts of diver this year and the last one was a real doozy. I feel for you and know what you have been through.

      Prayers for your health, Nicole. I am sorry you’ve had to go through that.
      Changing my diet to adding Greek yogurt near every day, daily fresh fruit and rarely spicy food or citrus had made a big difference.

  5. Glad you made it to your appointment and now you can put that behind you. I, too, am not happy with the change in temperature.

      Maryanne,
      Now I’m waiting for the English translation for the results. 😂
      What I can read doesn’t look bad.

      Jeanie,
      Glad it is over for sure. The tech guy was calming, clear and very considerate.
