Check this crazy shit out.......

Back when I was in the Army in 05, I got a bad cellulitis infection in my left knee and was in the hospital for three days on a huge antibiotic....well, apparently, I just got another one, this time much worse, as well as a staph infection they think, on the same leg, this time on the shin....This time however....here's the fucked up part....they had to do fucking surgery on it...WHILE I WAS FUCKING AWAKE....they shoved a fucking needle with Novocaine or some shit deep into the heart of the fucking infection and it burned like hell, THEN....they took a goddamn knife and sliced it wide open to drain....I am telling you...that was the most pain I have ever....EVER....felt in my entire life...and now I have to sit for 2 days with a gaping hole in my shin while this fucker drains, with some packing shit packed in the damn hole and I have to get the packing shit removed on Monday and apparantly, this is gonna hurt like hell too....on top of all that....my fucking leg feels like it's on fucking fire right now....I'm on Vicadon and two strong ass antibiotics....I just had minor surgery....AWAKE!!!! The point I'm trying to get across here is this....if you ever develop a pimple or even a slight discoloration of the skin...GET THAT SHIT CHECKED OUT PRONTO!!!! You do NOT wanna go through this shit....I think I screamed every cuss word imagined like 5 times each while they were slicing my fucking leg open....Now, apparantly, I'm prone to easy cellulitis infections....as well as maybe even fucking staph.....I feel like a goddamn Cleveland Brown.....HEED MY WARNING!!!!

I was waiting for something about the Browns coming in there.

That really sucks.

Yea...it sure the hell isn't fun...

Oh man Sugar I'm sorry to hear this Staph infections can be devastating.... I hope you take care of yourself .

Yea...it was pretty crazy....that fucker bled like crazy when they cut it open and the blood was very thick and almost black....the pain was insane....I've been through some crazy pain too....One time I broke my foot and walked and worked on it for 3 weeks before it shattered and I couldn't even stand....I had a toothache that lasted like 5 hours and I was praying I would pass out...I hurt my neck really bad playing football in HS, I used to be nicknamed Crash bc I crashed my bike a couple times, one time even taking a chunk off my lip, but never did anything hurt quite as bad as this shit....

Yeah, and not to be put asleep when it happens...OH shit...that would have freaked my ass.

Yea...it sure was "different"....

I could only imagine.

I can only imagine...I think even the thought of it made me almost cry...

I'm glad you're taking care of yourself...And I hope it gets better really soon.

By the way, I did the exact same thing with my foot in Basic Training...ended up with brand spankin new bones in my foot at Walter Reed... Small world!

well....now they're admitting me to the fucking hospital...more of this shit to deal with....ONLY ME

Oh man that bites. Keep us posted.

I'm currently waiting for them to call me and tell me they have a room ready...I have to be in a single room(small miracles)...I am NOT looking forward to this shit...

Yeah, keep us updated for sure man.

Prayers for you.

I hope you're doing ok......

Well, I'm back...for now at least....as long as everything keeps going as is....fingers crossed...fucking staph....

No....for now at least...spent 2 1/2 days in there...I don't wanna spend another damn second in that fucking place...I'm praying like hell that this heals the rest of the way on the oral antibiotics and cleaning it at home....staph is INSANE.....The only problem is I got it thru a cellulitis infection and I am prone to cellulitis now since I got it in the army...once you get it...you are prone to get it easy...the same with staph....now I've contracted staph for the first time so hopefuly not, but chances are, sometime in the future I'll go through something like this again....and it's not over yet...it's just looking promising.....

Well I'm glad you aren't there anymore. Those fucking places will MAKE you sick.
Please take care of yourself.

I hope you don't up back there. It's rather homely feeling being there overnight.

WOW....these fucking antibiotics they have me on kick my ass in the morning...I feel like I'm gonna ralph....felt this way Saturday morn too...both times...I ate after taking them....maybe I'll skip breakfast while I'm on them...I hardly ever eat breakfast anyway...My stomach is so queazy, I can't even smoke a cigarette right now....this SUCKS

As far as everything else...the wound is healing well....it's gonna be one huge ass scar when it heals....it's still not fully healed yet and is still pussing every day, but only a little...the redness has gone down to mainly bruising from the knife....hopefuly in the next year I can be healthy and drink alcohol again.....
