🐾🐾🐾🐾 Just passing by to say "Hi!" Hope you're having a good Saturday! 🐾🐾🐾🐾 

How are you feeling, peeper? Any news on the bacteria tests? How is the infection? Are you stronger feeling. I haven't see an update, but I hope no news is sort of good news.  

Thanks guys! I’m good. Nothing on the infection front yet. They’ve stopped updating my patient portal. Dr said we won’t know until around Oct 28th or so because MAC takes that long to grow. If it’s something else they’ll find it quicker and let me know. But since we haven’t found anything in the lab yet I’d say it’s one of the bad ones like MAC or the antibiotics killed whatever it was but too late to avoid surgery. 🤷‍♀️ Still tired a lot. Waking every 60-90 minutes at night (my bed records restless sleep and bed exits and my watch records some of the night time movements). I think that’s the antibiotics though. They keep me a bit nauseous all day and cause tummy/bowel issues. I’m doing well staying hydrated I think, but I think it’s just draining my energy. Went to run errands today and was tired after 2 hours. But I also had kids fighting and arguing lol. Slept fairly decent lats night so I’m hoping for the same tonight. Avoiding naps this weekend to tray and get back on track. Next appointment right before Thanksgiving so I doubt I hear anything before then.  

Peeper- You seem to take everything in stride! God bless you! I hope you sleep well tonight and only get good news.  

Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers 💜🙏 

DP you should’ve seen me three years ago lol. It was a huge deal with the other side. I think it’s much easier this time because I know a basic timeline, I know how to wear clothes to hide the ‘flat’ side, my physical appearance is just part of me etc. When thinking about how it could be worse I realize this isn’t so bad.  

Ty everyone!  

Nice! ⭐ 

I'm glad to hear some direction the right way. I hope they can't grow a thing. It would be so good if the antibiotics knocked it out in you and the culture. Do probiotic supplements help your tummy at all. My daughter seemed to have been helped after all her good bacteria got killed off. I am sure your body has to be so weary trying to heal let alone fight the infection. Fighting kids will for sure take it out of you too. I hope you start getting some more rest at night. Sleep sure helps healing. Hang in there, and keep us updated. 🌹🙏🙏🙏🌹 

I’ve never tried probiotics. I don’t like to take new things without taking to my dr first. The pharmacy told me a week or so ago that my dr is in charge of finding interactions not the pharmacy! So I can’t even call them anymore to check. I know I can’t take my vitamins because of the calcium. That’s fine because I wasn’t taking them right now anyway lol. Can’t take either of my normal meds right now either. I can but it caused heart palpitations, fluttering, fast beating, what felt like a couple skipped beats etc. Stopped them and a couple days later that stuff stopped. I too hope they don’t grow anything! It’ll mean I might’ve been able to catch it faster and save the implant but it also means no 6weeks to 6 months IV treatment! Can’t live in the past so I’ll look to what’s best for the future. As for sleep my bed says I had 8+ hours of restful sleep. Don’t feel very rested but I was more alert this morning than usual. Was trying to go without the nausea meds so I could take my other meds but that didn’t work. Skipped it yesterday and today my tummy is not happy with me so I took it with lunch.  

I'm glad you got a good night sleep! It's so important for helping the body repair! It's not surprising you don't feel rested after all you have been through and are still going through. I'll be praying too that nothing grows and that the nausea gets better and that the meds help. 🌼🌺🌸 

Thank you!
