C-Difficulties
My white blood cell count went up a bit and they thought my incision might be infected, so they gave me an antibiotic, which had the unfortunate side effect of killing some gut bacteria. That gave C-diff, the pirate of the bacterial world, an opening, so I got diarrhea and the symptoms of a flu. I've been zoned out recovering from that for a day and a half waiting for the second antibiotic, the one that kills C-diff (clostridium dificile), to work. Home is still on the horizon but slips day-to-day.
