Damn! I have C Diff again! Finally got the test results this afternoon. Doctor is going to call in another prescription of antibiotics. This crap is getting old.

I had a rough night as I kept having to get up and go to the bathroom. This morning I went three times in 30 minutes and haven’t gone since. When I get a bit of reprieve I start feeling better. Doing my best to drink lots of fluids today so I don’t become dehydrated.

I have been eating some bland flood today. I was hungry this morning for the first time in a bit. Didn’t take much to fill me up but it felt good to have a bit of an appetite .

I have more energy today than I did yesterday. Thinking I will take a nap soon so I can stay awake when Jim gets here late tonight. He has lots of little things to take care of before he can get away today so I don’t expect him to get here until 9:00 tonight or even later. I have chili in the crock pot for him to eat when he gets here. Chili doesn’t even sound good to me but he will enjoy it.

I am on quarantine again for 10 days. Good thing I like staying home. I will have to run into town to pick up my prescription but I can use curb side pickup and not take a chance on contaminating someone else.

This is becoming old and frustrating for me. Wonder why I am getting this particular lesson at this time of my life? The universe is using a 2 x 4 to get my attention for some reason. I will sit with that question and listen for the answer that is within. Maybe this time around I will get it!

Haven’t done much today. Took care of all the critters. Made some more masks. Did some laundry. Normal stuff around here. Slowing down and spending time “being” instead of “doing”. Giving my body lots of healing space and time. My world feels small these days. Maybe that is part of my lesson?

Grateful Jim will be home this evening, grateful for antibiotics, and grateful for a beautiful space to quarantine in.
