Back in this spring I came down with Clostridioides difficile (C. diff) which put me in the hospital on 3 separate occasions before I finally got rid of it. Lost 32 pounds during that time. The first episode caused me to have a seizure and fall out here at my house and necessitated a call to 911 for EMS and a $2300 ambulance ride (20 miles) to the hospital. Took me most of the summer to recover my strength but the weight has mostly stayed off. I'm still taking medication for the seizure part but expect that to stop in January.
