Recovery week 5 down

I made it another week. Feeling stronger and totally pain free. I hate to say this, but I'm ready to go back to work next week. Now I must be crazy. Who says something like that? Hahaha. Really though, the longer I was off, the more I thought about retirement. Which I am eligible in 9 years from my current job. I definitely have to get another job...but this one will be part time. I don't know what it will be yet. But I've been thinking about some ideas.



Tomorrow is my follow-up doctor appointment. I'm feeling really positive about it in the fact that he will allow me to resume normal activities and clear me to go back to work. The one thing that I'm looking forward to is being able to take a bath again. I was only allowed to take showers. I wasn't allowed to soak in a tub, go swimming or in a hot tub. So I hear a nice long bubble bath calling my name!!!

Mentally, this last week was tough on me. One of my banned activities was sex. I got myself all worked up about how it will feel post hysterectomy and will it be the same now that the baby making stage is over. Yes, silly and stupid I know. But the thought was there.

The other thing that got me all worked up was that the hubs is still dealing with the Antibiotic Associated C Diff. He finished his third round of Flagyl on Friday and went Saturday for more lab work. We should find out today if he still has it. Which I'm sure since this is so dang stubborn that he still has it. Which means his primary care doc is going to send him to an Infectious Disease doctor. And all of this is because I made him go to ER when he had a 102 fever and a back ache. Which turned out to be just some weird virus. I feel it's all my fault...again, I know a silly and stupid thought. I'm failing to see the fact that the doctors kept him on pipercillian for 7 days and totally messed up his colon health.

But I'm over that hump...at least for now. I think we need a super long vacation. But that's not going to happen anytime soon since we spent a boat load of money to go to Sin City for New Year's Eve!!! To say the least, I am totally stoked about that one!!!

And I had to come back and edit this post. We just got word that hubby's latest C Diff lab test came back negative!!! Woohoo!!!
