It's me again. And I'm under the weather again or still, I should say. I've had the runs ever since I took the antibiotics in November. It finally got to me and I went to the Dr. and was diagnosed with a condition called C-diff. It comes when you take lots of antibiotics and they clean out the good bacteria in your colon, so that you are suseptible to bad bacteria. It causes a toxic infection that is a severe type of colitis. Now I have to take another antibiotic to cure the effects of the other one. I looked it up on the internet and it can be quite serious. So all of you girls with little ones need to be aware of it and be super cautious when the Dr. wants to prescribe lots of antibiotics. The toxin is becoming immune to drugs and has killed lots of people. My Dr. said I was fortunate because I was drinking lots of water and eating yogurt and taking Acidopholis, so I got a milder form of it. If this is mild, Iwould hate to see what a severe form looks like.
Anyway, enough about me. We spent the week between Christmas and New Years down with Tina and Randy. It was a great week even though I didn't feel 100%. We played lots of pinocle and watch football. Sorry about the Broncos. I did my best...wore my jersey and socks and rooted as hard as I could. The carriage house is nice because we don't feel like we're putting anyone out.
Next week we go to Evansville to see the hand Dr. again to see when they are doing surgery on the left hand. That will be fun because Papa is pretty much useless with his right hand. I'm hoping I feel better by then because we have some gift cards to Red Lobster.
Michael has moved out into a cabin in the woods. He wanted to start school this semester, but didn't get his paper work in on time, so he's job hunting again and will go to college in the fall. He is planning on being a pastor. He has a little dog to keep him company and we wish him well.
