Glad you're home Randy. Take it easy and get better so you can do some fishin'
I had back surgery for an L4 ruptured disk on Wed 15 Feb and got to come home the same day. About 3 days later I started feeling week, sick at my stomach, and running a slight fever, and by Monday I was so bad Marie took me to the emergency room and they did a CT scan of my abdomen and found signs of a possible infection and blood work showed my white cell count over 20,000 (6,000 to 10,000 is normal) they admitted me for more tests. It turns out that there is a nasty little bug you can get from surgery anesthesia or from certain combinations of antibiotics called C-Diff (not sure of spelling). Well to make a long story somewhat short after 6 days of IV fluids and two different types of antibiotics twice a day they sent me home with another 14 days of antibiotics to take. I am week and feel like crap but at least I am home, I hope the crappy bed I had to sleep in did not make my back worse because it is hurting worse than before the operation. Now I need too get motivated to get my back up to speed in time for some fishing.
Thanks everyone for all the prayers and well wishes!!!
Thanks Todd for letting everyone know.

You will become like those with which you associate.
Just getting back home is the right medicine! Hope your recovery is a speedy one with minimul pains.Thumbs Up
Get well soon Randy.
Glad to hear they got it figured out. Heal up and get better soon, I hear some fish calling your name.
Creativity is just intelligence fooling around
Yeah, that c-diff is BAD stuff! I know several people that have had it! I was lucky I guess, I had a new knee put in in Jan and didin't have any problems. Glad to hear you're better.
Thanks everyone I feel a little better today so hopefully that's a good sign I am on the way to getting better.
