Thanks, all. Turns out that it's not C. diff (I agree, BF - I wouldn't be surprised if she brings it home and not the other way around). They don't know what caused the infection (currently considering gallbladder because of elevated liver enzymes). She feels better though and is loving all the attention she's getting. Her doctor said she can hopefully come home tomorrow or Sunday.
I, on the other hand, feel (to borrow my own phraseology) like a piece of used fishwrap, between keeping her amused and taking care of my dad (who can't go to hospital to visit because he's on chemo and has no immune system anymore). What the hay - what cannot be changed must be endured - MF, I know you know that one very well!
Off to catch up on my classes; my poor students probably think I abandoned them . . . will go to sleep tonight fervently wishing for some sort of totally awesome Bean news, as that would cheer me up considerably (something involving a change in his marital status would be nice . . .)!
