I'm sorry to hear about this. Best of luck on your recovery, and see your ICQ, buddy. I'll chip in a few bucks Friday.
Oh yeah and Fizzgig wishes you the best too. I wouldn't let her look at the pic though, she's really sensitive. It'd haunt her for weeks. We won't forget you helped us out when we needed it.
Did They find any strepacucus bacteria in the wound Strepacacus causes flesh wounds similar to that. My mother had both of her legs removed because of that evil bug.
Not sure what all they found but they had me on 3 mega anitbiotics in the hospital via IV and have me on 2 of the same at home.
I'm not being a smartass so don't take this wrong but if my leg was that fucked up I would have already begged them to cut it off.
When I asked the Dr what the chances are of keeping the leg after all the therapy and skin grafts, he said 50-50. The lower the chances go the more I wanna say take it off. I am a big pussy when it comes to pain. I told him before I went into the surgery to take it off if he thought it wasnt worth the trouble. But hye said he only does the clean up, have to have a vascular surgeon to to the amputation. So far today im having a good day tho.. LOL Not much pain and the wound vac is doing its job sucking that shit out. Now, gimme a few hours and the nurses come to change the dressing. When they leave no matter howe many percocets I take itll take 5+ hours for the pain to stop so I can get back outta bed lol
For those of you have asked, I still have an open wound and have this damn thing attached to it 24 hours a day sucking the drainage out of it. Watta pain in the ass. Cant leave the house just yet for a while, but when I do I have to wear this noisy ass thing on my shouder lol
One thing I'll say - judging by your posts in the thread...at least you seem to maintain good spirits despite your situation.
Hope everything works out for the best and you recuperate soon.
Hell why get down about it. I might have a good cry about it someday but it hasnt happened yet. I just gotta face facts that I fucked up by not going to the dr soon enuff and take my medicine like a man, whatever that medicine might be. lol
My dad was here earlier and it was the first time he'd seen the wound. Even with the dressing on it, you can see the size and shape of it. He looked like he was either gonna cry or pass out. Hard to tell. He didint stay long lol
Dont have alot to spare myself right now, but sending you 10.00 on epassporte man. If I come into any extra cash Ill send you more. Hope it heals up fast. You should tell everyone it was a sharkbite.

Let me see what I have got - what is your min spec(cpu etc) requirement?
As far as specs go not sure... lol Im not gonna be doing any video editing or anything like that but a cd rom drive and 512 memory would be nice and a decnet size hard drive would work. Nurse is on her way but ill be back in a couple of hours
how do we know its real and you didn't just snatch it from rotten.com or something?
I live in Kentucky and no its snatched from Rotten.com or something. Not a bad idea but thats not my style
Heres 2 pics I took just now. ONe I tried with a note to ya Juan, but it didnt show up in the low lite lol
This one shows the wound after a fresh dressing change by a hot nurse this afternoon
Also shows the damn tube sucking shit out of my gaping hole lol
This one shows the leg also but the wound vac, the walker im forced to use just to walk and the urinal that I might have to use if its too painful to walk to the toilet. Hasnt happened yet, but if the dressing changes get any worse I dont think I wanna walk no more lol That real enuff for ya?
Shit the home health nurse just called and she thinks I need to go see the doctor today and get some more black stuff cut out. Goddamn. How much more can a guy take? lol
Man you are crazy. When things kept getting worse what made you think they would ever get better without proper treatment?
Good luck.
I never said I wasnt crazy lol Years ago when I had al my toes cut off by that commercial lawn mower the doctors told me that I would probably lose one or both of my legs eventually. That was in 1990. I guess I was just trying to put off the inevitable a little longer.
Man you are crazy. When things kept getting worse what made you think they would ever get better without proper treatment?
Good luck.
I feel sorry for the dude but I agree with this 100%! I know its no consolation now tho saying "you should have went sooner" but damn dude.
I seriously hope you get better soon, I wouldn't wish that injury on anyone let alone someone like you who seems to put a positive spin on any situation!

I appreciate the kind words. SOMe of that comes from not getting flamed like a lot of people I see on here asking for help get. Im not saying im anywhere close to getting that laptop, but I do have a wireless router on the way, and the lack of flames does help keep my spirits up
