the hospital did this to me unfortunately: an extravasation (graphic)

[Chip (OP)]

yuck !

it throbs. I don't even fucking shoot drugs but still suffering as if I did.

Dayum dude.

It probably doesn't help that it's yer foot, kinda long ways away from yer heart.

If there's one thing I've learned since I started muscling my dope, and dealing with a lot of really borderline infections, it's that heat is anti-biotic #1. There's a lot of #2 shit, but IMO nothing slows an infection like a hot-ass hot pad.

JMHO

'luck yo

[LadyKalma]

Wow, what incompetent people at the hospital who did this. I hope you get some capable hands to care for you somehow. Wishing you a speedy healing.

[Chip (OP)]

thasks. they are quite worried about it and I think my ribs are cracked.

I could do with some strong drugs right now.

[Thoms]

I hope they get you fixed up brother man. I know you got some shit going on. Best of luck.

[Chip (OP)]

they can't treat the ribs but my foot was dying.

2 doctors used an ultrasound to find a working vein that wasn't affected by clotting and not to close to an artery.

I am on a drip and on the mend but will need a skin graft.

[dizzle]

holy fucking shit.

[Chip (OP)]

after debridement and with drain.

only bruised ribs.

on the mend.

[Esoteric Anhydride]

Wow, it looks a bit darker in this pic. Damn dude. Does it hurt? How long are you gonna be in the hospital for, do you know?

Hope you feel better yo, fer real. That looks like a whole bunch of no-fun

++++vibes bro

Wish I was around to kick you down, cos I would.

[Chip (OP)]

yeah it hurts.

could be here for quite a while.

I wish you were here too.

[Opi-ette]

Chipper are you at the same hospital that did this to you? I'm glad you went for treatment right away.

[Chip (OP)]

yeah same place but shit happens. I came in for rib pain also. here is a shot before second debridement and skin graft.

[Esoteric Anhydride]

Were they trying to take blood, or was it an IV?

[Chip (OP)]

trying to give me an Acyclovir drip (WTF?) in my foot without my consent.

[Chip (OP)]

on my 4th different antibiotic now ...

Benzyl Pennicillin, Flucloxacillan, Tazocin and now another one because world-wide Tazocin stocks are severely depleted.
