I came back from the hospital yesterday (Monday). We found two explanations for my recurring intestinal insurrections: an intestinal infection called Clostridium difficile ("c diff") and something (infection?) going on with my gallbladder. Either one could explain the symptoms I have been having. Maybe they have been taking turns!
I now have medications for each condition, and a followup appointment on Thursday to discuss the fate of my gallbladder.
Nice surprise from my stay: My room had a fully functioning shower — hot water and water pressure.
No surprise: Spent 50 minutes waiting for transport after my ultrasound. Probably would have been longer had one of the techs not made a phone call after 40.
More later. Feeling pretty good now.
Bummer about C diff, but at least they won't have to look for it anymore. Good that they're jumping on this, and that you're taking the "report everything" seriously.
