Welcoming the Diverticulitis Cure

I took the diverticulitis cure. I stick to the virtuous path, eat only what I’m supposed to, drink the water, do the exercise, and it’s working.

At first it was a little difficult, because I don’t like change. I’ve had bacon and eggs for breakfast for 25 years, and all of a sudden I’m having Cheerios with milk and fruit. It’s not a big deal, or at least it shouldn’t be, but I had to get used to it. One thing I found out is that if you stick with something long enough, it becomes the thing I don’t want to change. So not liking changes hindered me at first, but I stuck it out and now that same trait is helping me stick to a really good diet.

I didn’t have to change much about exercise. I was already walking with my wife after dinner, as part of her diet and exercise, which is only because she wants to look good. She looks fine but you know what I mean. So all I had to do was walk a little longer – 30 minutes instead of 20, and do it every day instead of 4 times a week. It makes sense to keep the juices flowing. Now I’ve become one of those grandfathers that takes a walk after dinner.

Speaking of keeping the juices flowing, I haven’t gotten used to drinking all the water that my diverticulitis cure requires. I know that pretty much any diet has the 8 glasses of water but I can’t seem to settle in with it. It’s got me going to the bathroom a lot. I suppose that’s the general idea, to sluice all the bad stuff out of my body and not let any of it settle in to stay. It’s a good thing I’m retired, although my kids tell me that offices are getting used to employees taking quick potty breaks all day.

My kids want me to get a dog. When they visit with the grandkids, they bring their own dogs and we all go out walking the dog after dinner. The grandkids get a kick out of teaching me how to walk a dog. Of course I know but it’s years since we had a dog and I’m out of practice. Still, it might be a good idea. I’ll have to give it some more thought.

I’m lucky that my wife makes the meals. It’s not hard and I can do for myself if need be, but with all this getting used to new things I’m sort of relieved not to have to cook. I just eat what’s put in front of me and stay out of the kitchen between meals.

What I’m saying is that the diverticulitis cure is fairly simple, but it’s far reaching. It’s just diet, exercise, and using the bathroom more often. The part that was hard to get used to is how much my entire day got changed. Now I know that change is the whole idea. I’ve read about welcoming change but I’m not very good at it. But I’m stubborn and if I decide to stick to a change, then I will.
