yummy bits of health news

yummy...*hack*..... i had to do another test again today... yes, one of *those* ones... where you collect samples in little vials..... *gag* ... yummy.

it actually went ok, with no gagging, lol. ... the doc wants to check and see exactly what it is before putting me on more antibiotics or anything... yeah, i hoped this was done, but it doesn't seem to be...

the 10 days of antibiotics helped considerably, but when i finished the last dose monday morning, i was like.... hmmm. i don't feel totally well. maybe i should make a follow up appointment.... and i'm sure glad i did. i went to the doc today, feeling absolutely sick. the trots are definitely pickin' up speed again, *sighs*.

spent a couple hours in bed afterward.... did the test.... a friend is going to drop it off for me (thank You, Lord!!!)).... at this moment, i don't feel too bad, a bit crampy... better than they were earlier, probably cuz i took some more anti-cramp meds when i got home.... and that dastardly immodium... bleh.

i know one of the tests on the form was testing for c. difficile.... frequently picked up in hospitals (and i was in hosp, yay)... and hard to get rid of. check, and check. *sighs*

THIS BLOG IS IN NEED OF AN OVERHAUL. there are posts from years back i would not be able to post in good conscience now. i plan to overhaul the blog, and either delete or add a disclaimer to those posts. but that is gonna take time....

The Radical Summons: "
Therefore let us go to Him outside the camp and bear the reproach He endured. For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come." Hebrews 13:13.

"The Spirit never loosens where the Word binds; the Spirit never justifies where the Word condemns; the Spirit never approves where the Word disapproves; the Spirit never blesses where the Word curses." —Thomas Brooks

‎"God receives none but those who are forsaken, restores health to none but those who are sick, gives sight to none but the blind, and life to none but the dead. He does not give saintliness to any but sinners, nor wisdom to any but fools. In short: He has mercy on none but the wretched and gives grace to none but those who are in disgrace. Therefore no arrogant saint, or just or wise man can be material for God, neither can he do the work of God, but he remains confined within his own work and makes of himself a fictitious, ostensible, false, and deceitful saint, that is, a hypocrite." --Martin Luther (W.A. 1.183ff)

i will not let You go: "Jacob's sense of his total debility and utter defeat is now the secret of his power with his friendly Vanquisher. God can overthrow all the prowess of the self-reliant, but He cannot resist the earnest entreaty of the helpless." --Albert Barnes

i will not let You go: "Jacob's determination did not flow from his strength, it flowed from his weakness." --Charles Leiter
