Ellyn and I are not having a good start to the year. She had a recurrence of her diverticulitis from 1999 and ended up with a perforated bowel. She had to have about 12 inches removed and a colostomy bag attached. She will have to have surgery again in about 2 months to reattach her "plumbing".
We have been in the hospital now for 5 days and she may be here for another few, as she is not off of clear liquids or her IVs yet. She is getting pain medication and antibiotics through the IV.
It looks like a diuretic they gave here in recovery, lasix, has cause a loss of hearing in her left ear, which was her good one previously. It is not clear yet whether or not the hearing will be permanent.
