Dear mkew,
What an unfortunate mess. I'm glad to hear you are home and beginning to recover.
CDiff can be hard to deal with, I do suggest you read up on it. Probiotics can be extremely helpful in restoring normal flora to your colon, and if you have lingering problems look into fecal transplant which has been super helpful for many people. I thought I had Cdiff, but it turns out I have ulcerative colitis, which unfortunately does not go away. There are also dietary changes you can try, I'm following a diet that restricts sugars and starches with the goal of eliminating the food for the undesirable bacteria.
Keep us updated please. Of course you should post here.
Love, elephant
