I’m hoping 2026 is easier on me! I’ve had my fair share of hospital stays this year! complicated episode of #Diverticulitis with an abscess, I was in the hospital 6 nights back in April with that!! November I had that diseased part of my sigmoid colon removed and resection of the healthy tissue! 💪🏻💪🏻 2026 is a comeback year personally and professionally!!

Am working all the days this week. My goal is to keep it to a minimum - if I am efficient with my time I can get done what needs doing in 3 hours (sanitise hoses, rack beer from fermenter to brite beer tank and rinse fermenter for cleaning tomorrow).

My current sense of my abilities is I can work less than half a day every day, or 5 full days (<8 hours) in a 7 day period. If any day goes over 8 hours then drop a day as soon as possible.

I am still recovering from #Diverticulitis and this means I need to remind myself (continuously) that I am, perhaps, at 80% of what might be thought to be "normal". And most likely less than 80%.

Ik heb al een aantal jaren last van #diverticulitis en dat is knap vervelend.

Maar vlak voor FOSDEM voelde het anders, veel heftiger, veel pijnlijker. Duurde ruim een week voor ik weer beter was, en ik miste FOSDEM dus.

Zondagavond begon het weer. Weer een paar dagen gehoopt dat het minder zou worden, maar deze keer ging het heel anders.

De huisarts vertrouwde het niet, en stuurde me naar de SEH. Na de nodige onderzoeken kwam de conclusie: een uitstulping veroorzaakt door diverticulitis was geknapt, en dus was er allerlei onfrisse troep in mijn buikholte terechtgekomen. Daar was inmiddels een #abces ontstaan...

Dit wordt de eerste keer in mijn leven dat ik opgenomen word in een ziekenhuis.

Mogelijk word ik geopereerd, ik hoop dat antibiotica en het draineren van het abces genoeg is, anders moet er geopereerd worden...

I just peeled some strawberries to have on my brekky. You read that right. Seeds! #diverticulitis

So a week ago today I had emergency surgery due to diverticulitis in the small intestine.
While #diverticulitis is not uncommon it almost always occurs in the large intestine or colon where the body can auto-magically surround the problem area and prevent leakage/bursting. Not so in the small. If it pops, it's discharging directly into your abdomen.

Thanks to an amazing surgeon AND world class nursing care, after major unplanned abdominal surgery I literally just walked up the street to the neighbors, maybe 5-6 houses.

I'm not even taking advil.

Just mind boggling what good #quality #medicine can do. I have good employer #health #insurance, #PTO and am entirely able to cover this.

Why the #FUCK can't we get #UniversalHealthCare in the #US?

My father has Diverticulitis, Sjogren's syndrome, and Myasthenia gravis. His specialists have told him he could die from any one of these diseases at any time. #sjogrens #myastheniagravis #Diverticulitis #health #olderparents
