Gotta give props to doc rocket. I messaged him with a couple questions and he said get my ass to the ER which I did.

They stabbed like nine times to find veins and then double checked to make sure the numbers really were that bad. They were.

They are currently trying to find platelets because there is a shortage.

I feel fine but obviously it's damn serious.

Got a good wife and family and friends texting me and loving me.

Y'all go do some fun schit for me. smile

If any of you get a purple rash, get your ass to the ER fast. I still got docs peeking in and asking to see it and discuss it. Apparently a weird and rare side effect of my immune system killing my own blood cells.

prayers for a good outcome and thankful you got yourself down to be looked at, and followed Doc Rocket's advise, instead of trying to be machoman and tough it out...We've lost ENOUGH good people in the last couple of years because of that Chink produced crap...

Lol don't tell people I'm a good guy. Ruin my rep...
