Poor Jim's Gut!

So yesterday, Jim finally had his CT and the news isn't great. It was a long process and a long day for Jimmy. He got the call for when he needed to be at the hospital around 10:00. They told him he had to be in at 2:00 to drink the contrast over an hour then wait a half hour for the contrast to take affect and then his scan was around 4:00. When he was out, the nurse said Dr. Flora would want to talk to him but unfortunately, he was running an hour and a half behind and Jim would need to wait. Thankfully, however, they got back to him (without seeing the doc) and told him he could go home, that the doc would call him and discuss treatment.  His doctor called around 6:00 while we were at Shooters and told Jim his abscess has grown and he will be scheduled to have it drained (they should call today to schedule...not sure when). In addition to this, he wants Jim to talk to the surgeon about most likely having this part of his colon removed. He said that the diverticulitis issues will just keep happening otherwise. I've been reading up on this but will wait to hear from the surgeon about the details of the surgery and recovery. The abscess procedure should be outpatient but that isn't definite...we'll see. I'm hoping this can all get taken care of before next week when we're supposed to go to PIB. But...who knows...Jim's health comes first. PIB may be off the table. 

As you can imagine, with all that, I didn't sleep much last night. It wasn't that I was overly distracted and worried about Jim (there was some of that) but my shoulder is giving me major fits. With everything Jim's dealing with though, I'll be sucking that up and just deal with the pain. Sucks though...I constantly have to adjust my position at night and it's basically a constant pain every time I move my left arm. Fucking sucks and it's not getting better. I'll definitely need a nap today...hopefully I'll be able to get one in. Maybe while laying in the sunshine? 

Not sure what's in the cards for today. I'll walk Scout here in a minute and then Reggie. It's a lovely monring, in the high 50s and I'm not sure it's warm enough yet for a bike ride. We'll see. I feel like I need to change it up and get on the elliptical today. We'll see...especially since I'll be walking a lot...that may be more than my feet can handle. 

Not sure of what's for dinner. With everything going on...I haven't made a menu for the week. Guess I should do that but I don't know if Jim will be able to eat or what. Considering what a planner I am, you can imagine my angst with all of this up-in-the-air shit. Oh well, as Maggie just reminded me, I can't control everything and I just need to roll with the punches. 

K - I'm out. I listening to a good book by the way. It's called, If The Creek Don't Rise by Leah Weiss...really good with good readers. 

Happy Tuesday! Later!
