Third time's the charm?

So I was good for like two weeks?  Then last Friday I had that pain again.  I happened to be at the clinic to turn in a specimen of the drained dialysis fluid after two hours.  Results on Monday: infection again, same strain, so same infection since December.  So I'm back on the antibiotics regimen.  Also going back to surgery.  Kidney doctor thinks the catheter is hiding bacteria that the antibiotics can't reach, so they're going to remove it and put a new one in a different spot on my abdomen.

So much personal life that I haven't done yet, mostly personal finances & taxes.  But also reclaiming the space in my house is heavy on my mind.  I just haven't had the energy for it.  Saturday & Sunday was so low energy for me, I mean non-existent.  I didn't do anything all weekend.  Started feeling better on Sunday, so I had to rehydrate with a pot of tea when I ran errands so that I could have specimen to deliver on Monday -- more fluid from the all night treatment.
