Good Morning Friends,
It was actually raining last night when I went to bed around 10:30! I don't think we got a whole lot of rain, but any moisture is welcome.
I'm happy to FINALLY have an answer as to why I have not felt all that well for a number of weeks and why I am tired ALL the time and haven't felt like knitting or stitching and even reading has been a chore at times. Not fun. Well, turns out after several cultures, etc., I tested positive for C-Diff! YUCK. I am now on a very strong/powerful (and quite expensive) drug that will hopefully correct my problem. I have not been able to get out and walk for several weeks and I am definitely looking forward to doing that again. But, slow and easy. I only started the med yesterday afternoon and will be on it for 2 weeks. Already though I am feeling better (sometimes just knowing what's wrong can make a huge difference too).
That may be a little TMI for you, and if so, I apologize. Now we are at Wednesday and it is time to link up with Kat and her Merry Band of Unravelers to talk making and reading. My making has been slow, but there is progress on the latest sock. I am through the heel flap and ready to turn the heel (so magical!).
Hopefully the balance of this sock will move along and sock #2 will be started. These will be for Colin and I'd like to have them done by his birthday (12/11).
Reading has been a bit slow too (hard to stay awake at times). I did finish Sandwich but it never got better for me. I just didn't like it and I didn't care for the writing. I am now mid-way through Finding Margaret Fuller and am finding it wonderful! I had never heard of Margaret Fuller, but she was a real person and this is a novel based on her life. She "hung out" (I can't think of another way to put it) with the Trancendentalists - Thoreau, Emerson, Bronson Alcott as well as Melville, Hawthorne and others. I'm excited to get to the point where she travels to Europe.
And that's a wrap for me. The only thing I have on my docket today is laundry which should not take too long. It's kind of grey outside, so it will be a good day to curl up with some knitting, stitching and reading! Hope your Wednesday brings you joy.
We didn't get any rain last night but I am quite excited about the real rain we're supposed to get tonight into tomorrow! Your sock looks great and I'm sure you'll be done with the pair soon. I had never heard of Margaret Fuller either so the book is on my list now. C. diff. is a difficult serious disease, so I'm glad you've gotten the diagnosis and are being treated. Enjoy curling up with all the things you enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear you have C. diff. but I'm glad you are getting the treatment you need and I hope you are back to feeling well really soon!
ReplyDeleteOh, my...I've only heard of C Diff through Tik Tok videos and nurses make it sound awful. I hope you're on the mend soon. I know you're expecting a special arrival soon as I am and any illness can spoil the fun. Take care.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you got a diagnosis but am sorry to hear that it's C. Diff. My mother-in-law has had it twice and been really sick with it. I hope the treatment works quickly and well!
ReplyDeleteGlad you got a diagnosis! I don't know anything about it but hopefully you'll be better soon. You can have some of our rain--come and get it!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure glad you got that diagnoses so you could be treated. Dennis's Mom contracted it in the hospital from her roommate. She sure struggled with it but is fine now. I'm sure you'll be much better very soon.
ReplyDeleteThe sock is great and turning the heel is indeed magical.
Blessings and hugs,
Betsy
Aw, sorry that you haven't been feeling well, but happy (?) that you know why! I've never heard of C.Diff before (now I know). Hope you're feeling yourself again soon!
ReplyDeleteHope you're feeling better soon!
ReplyDeleteThat's one good thing about C-diff, once you figure out what is wrong, it responds well to meds!!! Hope you bounce back quickly!!!
ReplyDeleteUgh, I really hope those antibiotics kick in soon, Vera. C. diff is absolutely no fun (and as Bonny said, it is really quite serious!) Your sock is looking great!
ReplyDeleteI hope you get well soon AND you tolerate the medicine well. I am glad you have answers!!
ReplyDelete!!! hoping you feel "like yourself" again soon. A diagnosis does help, and hopefully so do the drugs. Glad to see you're still knitting, stitching, and reading. Those are all wonderful pastimes no matter how you feel! (and p.s. glad to see rain up there ... not sure I should be glad about snow, too?!)
ReplyDeleteRest and feel better soon. I hope the medication works well for you. I'm also thankful to see rain in your neck of the woods.
