Had a ride in an ambulance yesterday: yep first time.
I've had an ongoing problem for a while with diverticulosis. When it flares up it becomes diverticulitis. I've been on meds for a couple weeks and was feeling great. However, I got up yesterday after working nights and getting some sleep to quite a belly ache. Being ever so familiar with the problem I didn't take any chances and went ahead and called 911. I did get to the H/P quickly but then had to wait for a long time while myself and everyone else was being processed.
For the short version we thought I was going to need emergency surgery but fortunately it didn't happen. I will have to look into it soon after things are cleared up.
The bad thing right now on my mind other than being in the H/P and not being able to sleep; is the fact that its looking like it may interfere with the Mid-Atlantic rally we planned on attending. Don't know at this time how it will work out but hope we can still go. Just have to wait and see.
So I do desire your prayers and thanks!
