Back Again

I haven't posted for a while, but that is mostly because I was feeling more or less ok.  We went on vacation, and while I had to take pain killers and take it easier than normal, we had fun.  Swimming with the dolphin was an incredible experience, and something I'll remember forever.

But as is normal (for me) with vacations, I came home sick.  And I don't just get sick, I tend to get extra sick.  In addition to a cold which has led to a sinus infection, I seemed to have also picked up a stomach bug.  In combination with my diarrhea (which never really goes away) the non-stop vomiting (I was unable to keep down a few sips of water) ended up with me in the ER for dehydration.  I begged the doctor not to send me there, but in the end, it was the proper course of action.

While in the ER, they ordered ANOTHER CT of my abdomen (I won't be surprised if I get some sort of cancer in that area in the next 5 years).  And like many other CTs, this one had disappointing results.  The inflammation is spreading in my colon.  I really want to go back to work, but this is not helpful for me on that front.
