Led is not dead!
Thanks for all your thoughts & prayers everyone...it really means a lot. You all here on the HQ have been great and helped me out tremendously these past few months. Can't thank you all enough.
Anyhoo...ended up with a severe staph infection / MRSA "methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus" ---a type of bacteria that is resistant to certain antibiotics. My lower lip was about 6times its normal size...all stemmed from scraping off a little white-head. My body was resisting everything they gave me until they're last resort--Vancomycin aka Vanco...after about 48hrs of the nasty shit pumping through my ass it seems to have done the trick. If it hadn't of worked they were going to life-flight me to Wichita & remove my lower lip and hope for the best, then if I didn't die reconstruct a new lip. The doc told me if they'd of waited about 8hrs longer to give me the Vanco they're about a 90% chance I'd be dead right now since the shit got into my bloodstream. They couldn't give it to me 1st because it's such a pontent anti-bacteria, they have to try all the others 1st. But I'm doing better now, finally back @ work and online...still on some anti-biotics and I've pretty much eaten all my painkillers. The demeral was alright...but after 3days of it getting pumped into me every 2 hours on the spot, it wasn't really even seeming to do much. Just glad to be back, have missed the HQ & being able to be out & about again; sucks I had to miss snakehunt, but I'm planning on hitting the sand next weekend to get my fix & hopefully leave all this shit behind me. Gotta take it easy for a bit though because if I get the flu, a temp, anything pretty much I have to go strait back to the hospital. Just keeping my fingers crossed...
Again...thanks for all the thoughts & kind words, and my bro zephead400ex for keep'n you all in check. Hoping to get out for my B-day tonight & have some fun.
