All those in the know have observed that I have been sick for several months. Things just haven't been right "South of My Border." Last week I had a colonoscopy. After it was over, the doctor sadly told me that we couldn't find anything wrong. The next day I was deeply depressed. When the phone rang I didn't expect the doctor to be at the other end. He was calling to tell me that a lab result showed that I tested positive for a parasitic bacteria called "Clostridium Difficile" or C-Diff for short. It's caused as the end result of taking antibiotics. When the antibiotics kill the desired targets, it also kills the intestinal flora that we need to fully dispose of waste from our bodies.
I wanted to tell everyone that a "bug had crawled up my butt."
My darling wife convinced me that I should more properly say that I had a "Parasitic infestation in my Sigmoid colon."
PS...Idea for title accidentally stolen from "Dave The Man, Myth, Legend." Sorry Dave, I'll try harder next time.
