I’ve not blogged much for at least a couple of weeks. I’ve been struggling through some pretty difficult illness, the most recent of which was caused, as I suspected, by antibiotics messing up my stomach. My doctor confirmed earlier this week that I’ve been fighting a rather nasty bacterium (sp.?) called Clostridium difficile, which causes a condition called Pseudomembranous colitis. (The link I just gave goes to an article on MayoClinic.com, which in my opinion is one of the best medical information websites on the Internet for the layperson.) My case wasn’t a mild one, either. However, all of this is history (hopefully) and I am well on the way to a full recovery at last. Even my doctor said to me today, when I saw him for what seems the umpteenth time, that he hoped that today’s visit would be the last one for a good long while.
So, I’m back again. So many things have been happening both personally and professionally and there is a lot to blog about and comment on. Stay tuned.
