In the hospital...again

Once again, I have been admitted to the hospital a week after the second treatment in the cycle.  This time, I had been feeling bad for several days but didn't worry about it because I didn't have a fever at all.  On Saturday I went to a class all day and was able to eat normally and on Sunday I started feeling bad but was able to eat and drink.  On Monday morning I ate breakfast then tried to take my medicine but gagged on a "horsepill" and lost my breakfast.  After that I only took a few sips of water and ate one bagel in the evening.  I did the same thing on Tuesday.  I was supposed to have a CT scan Tuesday but was not able to drink the contrast.  I went to the clinic on Wednesday to get fluids and they did an abdominal x-ray and the doctor told me that I needed to go to the hospital to get potassium and magnesium infusions and much more fluids.  They also checked me for c-diff and I was positive.  Now the nursing staff only comes in when the absolutely have to and they wear plastic gowns and gloves and if I leave the room I have to do the same.  My doctor had talked about sending me home today, but the way I feel right now, I would probably be back in here before you know it.  Oh well...
