                        Well it's 2 weeks after my surgery and I almost feel back to 100%.  Still a bit painful and swollen, but I am now back to work. I had 1 foot removed and it was reattached during the same surgery, so no bag.  I spent 6 days in the hospital and then a week at home.  I am just very happy that this is all over and done with.  Although I will have diverticulosis for the rest of my life, I can deal with it.  I was never a big nut eater to begin with, and will miss strawberries, but, what the heck, being able to have normal bowel movements makes everything worth it!  I particularly like the orange flavor Metamucil.  That stuff has been a life saver as well.
