A couple went UP my shirt... No pictures but that hurt...
With all of that flailing around, I imagine you looked like you came down with a spontanous case of epilepsy.

My brother-in-law was flailing so much he hit the panic button on his jeep while running away.

Shouldn't we have like a bracelet or card on us at all times so when we get wheeled to the hospital they can see that we own and maintain reef tanks? Maybe they should have a ward... nah, that's too much... :thinking-face:
Wine hospitals do.

Okay Heathens.

I may have to go dark for a few days. During this morning's shenanigans, I've been in the ER at the VA. My entire left hand swelled over night and it would appear I have an aggressive infection

Can't at the moment. I'm currently in the emergency room being seen for a very aggressive infection in my left hand / arm. I woke up at 6 this morning in excruciating pain, and my index finger was swollen. It has since spread and my whole hand is swollen. Just got seen by ortho / hand surgery and had film done. They did a full set of labs to include cultures and I'm currently waiting on infectious diseases to come down. They're about to hang a cocktail of IV antibiotics. I May need surgery. Will definitely be admitted. ***

So you'll have to settle for my ugly mug.
Sorry to hear this. Get better soon!!
I must be able to read minds… my first thought when you said finger infection was reef tank
That was my first thought too.

How's the hand
For better or worse, about the same. I've already met with infectious diseases and internal medicine. Waiting for the hand surgeon to come see me now.

Should be "soon". That's doctor and nurse talk, and means anywhere for 1 to 8 hours from now. ;)

It is what it is. I'm clearly not going anywhere.

What did the ID docs say?

"Soon" is definitely anywhere from 1-8 hours == definitely 8 hours. I came back from Mozambique during the swine flu pandemic way back when and they quarantined me while getting test results--it was either swine flu or malaria. Results coming "soon". 8 hours later, it's swine flu. The swine flu test was like 30 min, but the malaria test they had to wait for someone to come in to read the blood smear slides (negative). SMH.
