I have worried over updating you guys for about six hours now, but I always share, so... I am not keeping any food at all in my body. My colitis has gone full blown. I have no warning before it strikes. The gastro Dr. told me today she thinks I may have a partial intestinal blockage and/or C. Diff. I've had C. Diff before and it's really rough. I've got all the hallmarks of it. I don't know much about intestinal blockages, just what the Dr. told me and what I've read on the net. I've lost 20 pounds.

If I have C. Diff. I'll have to have a new procedure, which I'm hoping will be outpatient. If I have a blockage, I'll be in the hospital. My friend will come and feed and water Belle, but she'll be all alone.

I had to go to my family Dr. today. I have an upper respiratory infection and received antibiotics. But I have to get a special kind of medicine from the gastro before I can ever take antibiotics. They give them to me. They cost $900.00 per prescription!

I also was told today that it will take six weeks minimum for the Pain Specialist's office person to call my Rhuemy back and give me an appointment.

I'm too sick to sit up, but I can't lay down much and have to save it for sleep. Say a prayer or send good wishes to Belle and to me, if you don't mind. I'm sorry about the whining. I'm just overwhelmed.
