Another problem

I have developed a pretty nasty yeast infection in my abdominal folds and both thighs. I wondered why I was itching so bad. With a little detective work and a mirror I discovered why. I know this may be more information than you wanted to know. :) I had some extra nystatin powder on hand to start fighting it right away. I see Dr. Ayash tomorrow and I will find out if this delays my SCT in anyway and can get started on medication to knock it out. Luckily nothing has developed in my mouth as yet.
I finished my last vancomycin infusion today. Now back to just flushing my line every three days.
My Aunt Thelsa was moved to a rehab facility Friday in Farmington. She and my Uncle Bob had moved up to Gladwin several years ago and now with some health issues have decided to move back home. Bob & went to visit her today. When we walked in her room she was visiting with my mom and Sylvia. It is so nice being able to see her without driving 2 1/2 hours. While we were out we in case I do go into the hospital this week. Who knows I could end back in there tomorrow but I hope not.

Are you on oral fluconazole? Worked really well for my husband. He was on it until his WBC was normal.
