Besides my normal convalescing, I have been nursing a bum left arm since I left the hospital. They had IVs going in both forearms. The line on the left became a hot mess shortly before my discharge. It continued to hurt after I got out, and it turned nasty. Right now, it's hot, swollen, red, and extremely painful.
I finally threw in the towel and went back to the ER this AM. Morphine has not been able to touch the pain. They've tried several anti-biotics before admitting me. I'll be in a couple of days while they get on top of the problem.
The good news is that I could send 'HillChick out for Popeye's for dinner. I'm not limited to the slop from the food service. After she leaves, I've got a penthouse view stretching from Dayton Ohio out to the Indiana line. There are bound to be some good fireworks displays.

You always see the best in everything Shaman! Speaks volumes. You get better and get your butt back home. Glad you went in to get treated! Godspeed.

Be well brother. Just a little bump in the road again. You'll be back to your normal routine in no time. I'd come visit just to chat if I were closer. Your angel is with you.

The good news, the antibiotics should clear up any lingering social diseases from your youth.
Silver lining.

Shaman,
Prayers lifted. Sorry to hear about your situation. But, not surprised. I've had two significant surgeries in the past two years. And had a "Do Over" on both of them. Hang in there. You will overcome.
Take care...

You’re always in my prayers and while I don’t always comment on your threads I do follow them as I continue to send good vibes your way.
You have a FANTASTIC attitude. I don’t think there’s anything that you can’t overcome…..your attitude is inspiring.

Early this AM, I was awakened by deep itching in my forearm, That sure beats intense pain. It looks like the infection got bested. Indeed, the arm is beginning to return to normal. I still have some redness and pain by the wrist, but nothing like what it was.
The fireworks last night were cool. They stretched out into the distance. One display was only a couple of miles off, but I could see little pinpoints of light clear to the horizon.

I am familiar with those iV burns. They change mine out every other day, the vein plays out.
Start one iV at the hand and work up the arms toward the elbow. Arms black and blew after a week.
I had one iV started started to blow out the expected morning they were to release me. Hospital policy requires you have a functioning iv until youre rolling out the room in a wheelchair. Yup, they sent the team to come place another one. 😱
I usually require “IV Specialty” come up from another floor to do me. After 2 or 3 floor nurses take a stab at it. I’m always a hard stick
IV Specialty is usually some 79 year old lady with shaky hands and ant burner glasses. If not her, it’s the 333 lb Puerto Rican guy with the Winnie The Pooh neck tie and 5X lab coat Oh swell
