…I’m not quite dead yet! Another trip to the docs this week, more prepscriptions (an anti-inflamatory this time) and more theories about what’s been going on. Short version: fainting/passing out – bad reaction to the antibiotic. Abdominal pain: combination of ecoli infection which is now almost certainly gone, and a muscle tear somewhere in my abdominal region, this last item leading to the anti-inflamatory. As you can imagine, I’m much relieved, though since the diagnosis and prognosis have been wrong once already on this I’m still a little apprehensive. I’m waiting on lab test results and also have to go back in for bloodwork and a followup visit, all of which I hope will ultimately lead to a clean bill of health.

Meanwhile I am definitely feeling much better, and the doc even cleared me to return to exercising and even better, drinking coffee 😉
