You didnt miss anything except they dont know what it was. They suspect it was either, Staph, Strep or a combination of the two.
The infection stayed out of my blood stream. They didnt want to risk getting a sample and possibly inducing it into my blood.
The two IVs I had were so incompatible that if they mixed in my blood there would be a chemical reaction that would have eliminated the need for any more treatments.
Any way with them being cautious and very aggressive at the same time it worked and saved my bacon.
I go back to the doc in the morning for a check up. Might learn more then. Starting to get some food down so that may help as well.
Wobbles called AFLAC today. Sounds like some bills are going to get paid off.

Day Thirteen (Fri):
We went to the doc this morning for a follow-up. He was pleased with the progress and said at least another 7 days on the oral antibiotics. He also added that I was to NOT use my arm for anything at all, period for at least the next 7 days.:11:
Appetite is starting to come back a bit and other areas are starting to work a little.
He added that this was the second worse infection of this type they have ever seen at the hospital. The other victim made a full recovery as well.
Doc said the antibiotics I got after being admitted to the hospital were the biggest guns they have. I wasnt on them long enough to do kidney damage but they didnt want me to have one bag more than I needed. The one Im now is much milder.
I was up for a total of 5 hours today and feel like I got a type 2 hit. On the way home from the doc we stopped at the store. About 20 minutes after arrival I had to just sit down on the floor. Felt like a local drunk but I just couldnt stay up any more.:shelli:
I did a 5 hour horizontal deco when I got home and Im still exhausted.
Back to deco mode.
Hey Kayla, is that second person in the pic the reason for your move?

Gary you better not go sneaking behind your doctor's back and using that arm before you're given the all clear. If you do something stupid that makes you end up losing it I'm going to show up and beat you over the head with it after they take it off.
Get some rest and take good care of yourself!

Dude, Im SO busted.
Gary.. yep, he sure is. Im not sure why else I would re-locate to the Tri-Cities. Its not like there is a lot of stuff here for me to be attracted to!
Glad to hear your feeling better... dont push yourself too hard, give this one time to heal, ok??
Hows the arm doing gary? I fell on my knee a few years ago and broke the burser sack on the knee, it took two weeks to start to get better. they drained it twice and then they put it in a cast for a week.Try driving a van with your right leg in a cast.
