One more metronidazole pill left then I’m done.  All symptoms of the infection were gone two days into this, so I’m optimistic that the infection is really dead this time.

     Then it will just be a question of how long it takes to get my digestive system back on track.  I took three probiotic pills, one with each meal yesterday, and that really seemed to help.  Last night the pain level was only about 1/10th that of the night before and no mid-night diarrhea spells.  I actually got to sleep through most of the night.

     Slept very little the night before.  My wife called me “Mr. Grumpy” when we were out driving owing to my lack of tolerance of stupid drivers (You know, the ones that wait two minutes even through traffic is clear three miles in both directions, or the ones that pull out in front of you without looking, forcing you to slam on the breaks.  Seems they are invariably driving SUVs).
