Follow-up at Kaiser today... Another week of the BRAT diet! But I can add potatoes (baked or microwaved). Nothing is growing in my cultures, which had me confused until the doctor (a resident who is still learning how to explain things, I think) told me that sometimes the organisms just don't culture, even though they may well be present in me. So I guess I may never know if this was E. coli, shigella or something else. They're checking my white blood cell count again, since it was elevated, but they seem satisfied I'm doing okay.
I'm a lot more yucky feeling and tired today than I would have expected. This certainly hasn't been a steady upward recovery. More of an upward roller-coaster. Thanks, everyone, for your thoughts.
