Coming Out at the Outback

I am back to the land of the living...at least for right now. Spence is right--that C-Dif is nasty stuff, and I hope to be rid of it once and for all. He has given you the details, but I really do feel miserable when I have it. If you ever hear of someone having it, be sure and give them lots of sympathy...and hope that they will be given the proper medicine. We go to the GI doctor on Thursday--I wish he could give me a lifetime guarantee that I will never get this again.

Last night was the first time I ventured out into society. Since I was too sick to go out for Kelsey's birthday on Saturday, we went last night to Outback. It was great! I had one of their dinner salads, and ate some other things from others' meals too...and was overly full and bloated afterwards...but it was such a great thing to be out of the house, and to be able to eat. We had a great time together. I still have to watch myself so I don't get too full--but I think that will be the story of my life from now on. It was just so nice to go out with my family.

Tonight I went out again--this time to Church for Brady's Scout Court of Honor. It had been since Jan. 2nd that I had been there at church. It was so nice to be there. The Court of Honor was very short and sweet...and then it was just so good to see people and visit with them.

I am also doing a few more things around the house--doing some laundry, working a little bit in the kitchen, and just being a little more proactive. I am determined to get better--I'm tired of being weak and tired. (I still take my naps though. :))Sorry that you have to keep praying for me. I AM going to get better!! Love you, Louise
