Here's a picture of my favorite "nursedog" Sassy. She's my little shadow and "fluffy is the best medicine" cure :) Ain't she adorable!?

While I was in the hopsital I wasn't allowed to leave my room for awhile. After a time I got REALLY REALLY BORED. So bored, in fact, that I started taking very random pictures with my cell phone's camera. Here's the results of an empty room to myself at midnight with nothing better to do...

Peek-A-Boo Hello! Aren't I the cutest?

My lovely and very comfy bed.

Every room at Morton Plant has a direct phone line for the patients to use. Oh yeah, and this was my room # on Witt Two.

Standard issue hospital room television...

Flowers from my mother, brother and Ken. Boy I'm spoiled!

Notice I use the vomit tray to store my hairbrush in. At the time it seemed organized, now not so much...

Aren't my Micky Mouse jammies cute?

Drugs they'd given me earlier in the evening (nothing good, just antibiotics)

Another cool thing about Morton Plant - All the rooms have these white boards with the date and the names of your nurse and Patient Tech. The nurses and techs also carry cell phones so you can call the number and they can be reached directly - instead of pushing the annoying nurse button on the bed that at some hospitals gets ignored.

I was trying for some sort of artistic shot of the top of the curtain. I think I failed.

More interesting stuff I found laying around in my room.

I think you can figure out what this is. A phone, I tell you! Call home!

The bed controls on the side of my bed. Yes I was very bored and running out of things to take pictures of...

Did you miss me? I was in the hospital for the past couple of days... Because I had been taking some pretty strong IV antibiotics (for my fistula infection) they ended up destroying all of the infection *PLUS* all of the good bacteria in my stomach/GI tract - The result was ANOTHER infection called Clostridium Difficile, otherwise known as "C. Diff".

C. Diff is one of the many germs found in the digestive tract. When a person takes antibiotics for an infection, germs in and on the body are killed. This allows some other germs to grow out of control. When the balance of germs in the digestive tract is upset, some people get sick. A "C. Diff" infection can be severe but can be treated by another antibiotic called "Flagyl". Healthy people are not usually at risk for "C. Diff"; people who are at risk for "C. Diff" tend to be older, receive antibiotics for a long time, have certain digestive tract diseases or have a compromised immune system.

The good news is, I'm doing better and I'm finally back home.
