I am hardly ever here anymore but recent events has me on a mission to inform everyone I can of Clostridium difficile, often called C. difficile or "C. diff.

Since my RC surgery in March I have been affected and assumed that this was to be my new norm until it got to the point a month ago that I was unable to leave the house. It is a very nasty bug that is resistant to antibiotics. Catching it quickly is important.

Please take the time to read up on this if you are having surgery or had surgery. If you notice a differance in your normal pattern contact your doctor. It really is no fun.
