For the last two months, I have been admitted back to the hospital on the 26th of the month. I can happily say that I was not admitted today! While I didn't get admitted, I did get an evening phone call from my amazing Hepatologist, Dr. Bzowej with some crazy news. I tested positive for Salmonella and needed to start antibiotics. We have no idea how I got it but probably from eating out.... I have the worst luck with food born illness. She said I seemed to be fighting it but wanted me to start antibiotics as a precaution. My first thought was I will never eat out again but I decided I cannot live in fear and will continue to enjoy my dinners out. Who knows..... it could have been food we cooked ourselves? Dr. Google says most people who get it never know it and do not need treatment. I just know since they test me for everything. They will be reporting it to the health department and I think I may be the health departments most frequent patient since the Hep A was also reported.
In other news, my liver counts continue to look great and I am on track to go back to work on July 5th! I am excited to go back to work and live a normal life. The time off was needed to recover but the reality TV shows are getting old and my Facebook addiction is getting worse so it will be perfect timing.
I hope everyone has a great Memorial Day weekend!
Congrats on conquering the 26th bugaboo. It's great news. Ollie and Sue
