Dis and Dat
You know it seems everyday I wake up and read or watch some news and those poor folks down south get pounded again and again by terrible storms. I complain about still getting snow and 77 people died yesterday in tornadoes, I need to just shut my piehole. That is another great thing about living so far north, we average only one tornado a year thank the Lord. Thousands lost everything they have yesterday, not even so much as a picture left, I cannot imagine how that must feel. God Bless everyone of those people.
The doc appt. went well yesterday and he is taking me in a whole new direction. Very apprehensive and to be honest pissed off when he first proposed his ideas but thankfully the older I get the more willing I am to logically think things thru and be less impulsive with my decisions. He believes since this was an antibiotic induced colitis with chronic C. Diff infections that it may actually be curable with an extended dose of Flagyl or Vancomycin. We decided on the Flagyl for now, I have taken it before and it caused extreme nausea and if that happens again then we will switch to Vancomycin. The more I thought about it the more it made sense, this is basically starting from the beginning, if this does not work then that eliminates that one from the list and we go on to phase 2. I told him if it does work then I would come into his office and give him a big ol kiss, he said he doesnt swing that way, neither do I as far as that goes but I am willing to make this one exception. His nurses thought it was pretty funny though. The great thing about this doc is that he saw I was beyond frustrated and upset and he sat and talked it out with me, he told me I have to let go of all of that negative energy and frustration and look at this as a fresh start. He is absolutely right, all of that nonsense is totally unproductive and only leads down a dead end. My mind is my most powerful tool in getting thru this and reaching the other side with a resolution. Whether or not it is what I want to hear is irrelevant, it is what I need to hear that is important and how I process it from that point. So heres to a new plan and to hope, hope is such a beautiful thing.
