Yesterday I spent 5 hours at the doctor's office trying to find out if I had appendicitis or if I was just backed up. Now, I officially dislike CT scans, over confident nurses, and CCs Pizza (which was the first thing I ate at 4pm and then immediately regretted it).
Well after waiting two hours for the results for my scan I decided that I would just leave and let them call me. I was so hungry! Eventually they did call, I think an hour later, and told me that I have diverticulitis, or more commonly known as colon corn pouches. The Divies can be a very serious condition even has been known to be lethal when it has to be. However, I caught mine fairly early and no one was hurt. Well, I was emotionally wounded when my regular doctor told me there was no need for the prostate exam that I received the day before from the young and ambitious Doctor Siddiqi.
Now I am engaged in a great civil war within my body. Time will only tell if I will live or die with a cob or corn stuck ever so gently within the lining of my colon. Diverticulitis..................your move.

How appropos that it may end up being a single kernel of corn that decides the fate of the Great Civil War being waged in your lower intestines...I am laughing so hard....poor Dr Siddiqi.
In a Jim Gafigan voice: Corn Pocket......
