A very nasty intestinal infection. Easily recognized by the horrid smell. Very contagious

Thanks. No sleep again last night. I am reaching the far side of exhaustion. Haven't been told my plans for today except for the gourmet clear liquid diet

Well, next time--as your Dr. said-any pain? come back and visit us again-always a room for u- just next time say- stoma blockage and possible C-diff AGAIN-I  Aways get it.. A room faster than this time..  They have things under control-you let them do their job and relax-I know that it hard to sleep in that place, but I think your in for a good long one--  Even a 20 minute deep sleep is better for your health.  Best. M.

The head doc just came by (Maybe that should be the butt in the front doc). Guess we are going to do scopes tomorrow so today is clean out day, hurray and yummy.  Pumpingme full of anti nausea drugs hoping to help me keep down the magic juice.  They are also scoping the stump to see what is happening in there. Best Halloween ever! Noooottttttt.

As far as the rose goes, Wish you/I thought of this before!!!!!  It was so perfect the other day--and now catching up with the others of ____________ to fast!  Would have been nice for your back ground!!!! 

Still sipping at your drink?

Lovely newly decorated bathroom. I like the darker blues. What an appropriate location for the lovely photos as I have been living in mine for several days.  Thank you yet again for the lift

Scopes are tomorrow.  Prep starts at 5 O'clock.  Right now working on pain and nausea so I can keep the prep down.
