C-Diff

After a few almost surreal almost perfect healthy months a huge shocker came our way i guess you could say its a "crappy" situation...guess it yet... Oh yeah its back! C-dff, the awful infection that crippled my body during treatment and the single reason i stopped treatment early.  A couple weeks ago i started have trouble and went to visit my GI doctor, and we started at the beginning he mentioned he wanted to test me for c-diff and i didn't think much of it.  Until a few days later when the cramping became awful and i became seriously dehydrated and my abdomen very distended.  That day he called me to tell the test result was positive and i was shocked!  I tried not to let it slow me down the next day Tim and i did the Covey run for Seattle Children's (that we ended up walking because i really wasn't feeling all that great) and i started my antibiotics that day. Admitting me became a very real possibility but i have been trying to give it time. I am still not quite feeling better and am concerned that after a year and a half the infection has come back but am hoping that my very expensive medicine takes care of it.  I have been working full time at a local chiropractic office as a assistant and although it is tiring at times especially when sick but i really enjoy it.   I have started running again, life seems to be resuming almost like normal i can eat just about everything its just keeping it in me that seems to be the problem.  Tim is doing great he is very busy working and is either playing soccer or watching it in his spare time. We hopefully will get to go to Oak Harbor to visit family and friends for the long weekend, with our busy schedules it can be hard to find time so the extra day will hopefully give us some time to relax with our loved ones and enjoy our precious time together! All my love
