After multiple hospitalizations for C-diff infection, I'm finally getting a fecal transplant procedure to restore my gut health and reclaim my energy. I'm also returning to school on August 18th to complete my communications degree with an emphasis in new media, which will support both my growing podcast and my ultimate goal of becoming an Episcopal priest specializing in disability ministries.
• C-diff (Clostridioides difficile) is a highly contagious bacterial infection in the colon that has severely impacted my energy
• My treatment will involve a stool transplant via either enema or colonoscopy (definitely NOT the capsule method!)
• Returning to school for a communications degree with new media emphasis to support podcast growth
• Planning to become an Episcopal priest specializing in disability ministry after completing my degree
• Will continue podcast work and Episcopal Church Disabled Concerns Committee involvement while studying
• We'll take a brief podcast break during my assistant Danielle's "huge play camp" week
• Despite being an auditory learner who struggles with reading/typing, I'm determined to succeed in my studies
Thank you for following us, and we'll hopefully see you next week!
