Just got out of the Hospital ( Graphic Pics!! )

[1FasterBlaster]

   I put a couple of graphic pics at the bottom. There really gross, so look at your own risk!!
   
Thursday morning, I noticed a small lump on the inside of my left leg...right next to my jewels. It looked like a bug bite. It didn't hurt , so I payed no attention to it. I went to Adventure Island with my family and while driving home, I suddenly got real sick, dizzy, and nautious and my body was tingling all over.
   After a visit to the ER, I was told it was an absess. I went home with antibiotics. Friday night, my fever went to 104. The absess grew the next day to the size of my hand and it hurt like hell.
   First, they stuck a needle in it trying to drain it, nothing came out. Then, they cut it open and scraped some of it out to relieve some pressure...it hurt like hell with only local anastesia!!
  Then the Dr. says I need an operation because it was so deep and it actually grew into two absessess. So now I have two holes in my leg big enough to put my thumb into them right next to my B_lls!! No stitches, because the infection has to be able to drain out.
    The next day, the nurse is changing the bandages and it starts bleeding and won't stop. It bleeds through 3 bandages. The Dr. comes back with Silver Nitrate and says this will hurt. If you don't know, it's pretty much acid to burn the wound closed. I screamed like a little girl...loud!!!
   It doesn't work, so I have to go back into the surgery room so the Dr. can carterize the wounds to stop the bleeding. I just got home today.
   I pray noone has to endure this pain like I just did. I almost passed out in pain.

Holy $#!+ man thats crazy I hope you feel better soon!

[Da_Mtg_Man]

Geeeez Dude. That's a shame. You need to stay away from those 2 dollar hookers. 

[Chillinthemost]

You have to wash down there once in a while.

[MedicMudder]

Holy crap dude!!! don't drink any alcohol while on the meds. That sucks, what happened to ya.I just broke my left arm in two places,sucks being down for
the count.

[gearhead400]

x2 on the hookers, but uhhh while the nurse was down by your boys...did she help "relieve" the pain at all? haha

That sucks man! is it taken care of now? Feel better man!

[trx#9]

Wow can't believe they couldn't stop the bleeding. Back when I was boxing the cut  man use to use something call nuphren, I think that is what it was called. Didn't sting and worked great, I think oral surgeons use it for clotting too.
         Good luck

[JackL]

You should have just been happy with the third ball.

[FishaHallic]

If it has not been for bad luck you would have no luck at all in the last year.  Hope things heal up for ya.   :ThumbsUp.gif

   I know, I'm pretty pissed. What the hellz did I do to have all this crap happen to me. I work out and try to stay healthy, don't smoke and this is what I get!!
   The Dr. told me I picked up that MRSA virus from somewhere. I've been on IV antibiotics for a week and I have another two weeks of pills and some gel I have to stick in my nose twice a day.
   Wash your hands people...let me tell you how fast this shizzit hit me!! I noticed it at 9 in the morning and by 11:30, I was falling over with dizziness, blurred vision and about to throw up. Even after they gave me antibiotics, my fever went to 104.

Wow, antibiotic resistant MRSA is no joke. Good thing you got to the hospital when you did.
Best wishes to you brother, I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.

 Wow, that's pretty crazy. They said mine was similar to MRSA but they weren't sure. They said it was some kind of staff infection and it's as easy to catch if you don't wash your hands frequently and rub your nose or eyes or a part of your body that has an opening.

[kawasakimojaverider]

man when it rains it poors dont it i hope you feel better

[jrpro130]

MRSA! No good my friend.  Luckily you'll be fine with anti-biotics.

JUST PLEASE OH GOD PLEASE take all of your anti biotics.  I can't tell you how many calls we run on people c/o the same thing they went to the hospital for (possible MRSA) and they call us and say "Oh, I didn't know I had to tak ethe whole thing...I thought I could just take the pills until it stopped hurting"...

So PLEASE oh god, take all your pills, is it a 14 or 28 day?

Don't drink...you know that...and if you get scared or it starts to feel a lot worse, or you feel the signs/symptoms of what you origionally felt...do yourself a favor and call 911, it can be very very serious.

BTW, I'm a paramedic student, I'm almost done, so I've been doing my research   Last week we had a 9 y/o male that had an abcess the size of my fist on his HIP!!! Talk about painfull...the Dr's did emergency surgery to relieve the pressure because it was almost tearing his skin.

And actually last shift we had a guy that had it on his hand....the DR cut it open and packed it, even with local anestesia we had the guy screaming for mercey...not good.




Handwashing is the #1 prevention against disease and infection...all this other BS goes out the window if you don't wash your hands!

From what I understand, folks not finishing all their antibiotics pretty much created this terrible ailment. That and overzealous doctors throwing antibiotics at every cold and flu.

[jrpro130]

I think you are right, but I can't verify it off the top of my head.  I'll do some research.

so wash your hands next time you go rubbing on a part of your body

that's an insane story dude,,,,,as long as you're not contagious, see ya next time at the plex.

 Believe me, I'm taking all my antibiotics!! They scraped out some infection with just local anastezia. They gave me Morphine and I still freakin felt it like I was on nothing.
   Then after the surgery, they put silver nitrate on the wounds while I was on Percocets...I still felt it like a match was lit on my skin.
   I have to change the bandages twice a day. The holes in my leg are disgusting. I can fit my thumb into one of them!! I would post pics...but someone might throw up!!

[jrpro130]

email me the pics jrpro130@yahoo.com

I need them for educational purposes if you don't mind. I will not put your name or anything in it, I just need the pics, I'm sworn anyway

Thanks

[1FasterBlaster]

 Next time I take the bandages off, I'll take pics. Should I post them on here?

[Da_Mtg_Man]

Yep. Just make sure you keep the boys out of the pic.

i love it when they say that. hope everything is better

[Islandbreeze07]

Ouch, NASTY!!

One of my neigbors had to rush her child to the ER for the same thing. She recovered well but it was not a fun thing. Same MRSA thing.

Wash your hands often! Don't take antibotics unless neccessary, and when you have to, take them all the way to the last pill/drop!

Get better soon.
