Update

As you may have read I complained a lot with my back hurting. Not bad just a constant ache when I moved and then the discomfort moved to my abdomen.
I finally saw my doctor, I figured it out. I have Diverticulitis, I have had for over 20 years. I have had no flare ups in that many years. I think that is what is wrong, so I went in just to be sure I do not get as bad as before, (bad enough to remove a section of my colon). 20 plus years and it is back, (Again I think). OK Charles was 18 last time and now he is 44.
Sheila agreed that may be the problem so she gave me prescriptions for antibiotics, (if I run a temp, which I am not) and a colon clean out (over the counter).
Today I am clean but my abdomen still aches. So bad I can not lean against a counter. I guess that eliminates washing dishes for a while. LOL
I am unsure what to eat as I have been on a liquid diet for two days and don't want to inflame my insides more than it already is.
OH well guess I go one minute at a time.
I have done a lot of sleeping the last few days, in fact I just got up. I turned my radio on to wake me over an hour ago but fell back asleep during my peaceful songs. I guess I needed it.
The sun is shining and I want so badly to be outside in my rose garden. I never trimmed it back last year and it is almost ready to put out new leaves. I have to get moving on that. I hope for nice weather tomorrow as David and I plan that little job (28 plus bushes) for the weekend. That and burning our winter burn pile.

Movies.
We watched "Blood Diamond". Lots of bad language but a definite look at life in Africa as those people live it. Death and violence is an every day occurrence. I recommend it for the adults in the house, No children.
"Reservation Road." Joaquin Phoenix, Beautifully done, I felt his emotions. It had a lot of emotions, sadness, loss, laughter, life and forgiveness's. Children can watch it but it is emotional. You as parents must decide. I forget what little ones can see and not see. I think in terms of older teens.
So we have 100 % good movies so far, 4 out of 4 is pretty good.
Now I must see what is coming next. We will watch at night as we relax. Makes me sit and relax. David will enjoy them as he snoozes in slow scenes.

That is what I had a bout with when we was out there, My bladder and that. I have still got a problem, but is much better. When we got back I got down in my back. That is what it was.I am trying to eat right, lots of fiber.
