No...
Not, "RICOLA!"
BAH.
Heeheeheehee! Although, E Coli is no laughing matter.
8 months later... I am still dealing with never-ending, E Coli, that has become resistant to quite a few antibiotics. Each rebounding-round of E Coli, has me right back up to the hospital for another round of IV medication, at home medication and more cultures to be sent out for further studies. This latest round, has now shown to be resistant to a few new additional antibiotics. Talking about SCARY!
After each course of strong antibiotics, I get a mere week break before the E Coli cycle starts up all over again... I don't just have one team of specialists trying to figure out this great E Coli resistant mystery, but instead, now 4 teams of specialists. Yes, it does get old, but unfortunately no one asks for their immune system to turn against them. Experimental cancer-oncology treatments do sometimes help patients, but as well, they can hurt a patient. Especially your immune system. Staying super alert and in tune with new symptoms is a must! So is keeping your sense of humor, in which, me and Eric have become our own at-home comedy team!

I am blessed to not just have a super amazing spouse-caregiver, but as well, a super loving fur family. Our fur children.
Mittens kitty is quickly on her way to celebrating her 1st official birthday! You know when a kitty is growing out of her baby stages and into her kittyhood years, when she flashes you the 'kitten ear.' Heeheeheehee! Too darn cute!! Mittens is our little fur child blessing. I don't know what I would do without the unconditional love, tiny kisses and never ending fur gang support. They have yet to ever fail me. Ever fail us. Family? Well...
I am still determined as ever to see one of my all-time favorite bands in concert, Journey! I am scheduled for my next rescan, a mere 2 weeks, before we can decide if my body will be able to handle the 3 hour drive to the concert. I am hopeful, but yet, realistic. My mind is more than READY! My body? Only time will tell and so will my next rescan. If they can not get this darn rebounding E Coli under control, then clearly we will have to hand over our front row tickets to another lucky someone, some 2, else. I have plans for the once-in-a-lifetime tickets if we can not go. Hopefully, my body will allow a bit of time to decide if the concert will be a GO or a NO. If we can not go, I will be auctioning off the tickets online. Proceeds from the tickets will go towards local families in need of medical assistance. I also plan on doing something special for a few children that we had met during our short laundry mat, in need of washing machine assistance, when we had plumbing issues with our new home.
There is always... ALWAYS. A silver lining!
