Infection

My sincerest apologies go out to anyone who has been following this site for the last week or so; I’ve been in and out of the hospital with a horrendous infection in my right arm, which has gotten into my elbow joint. I’ve had a PICC line put in and must take IV antibiotics each day for the next two weeks.

What’s strange about this whole experience is that, after all the times I put old, dirty needles I saved ‘for a rainy day’ in my truck (tossed haphazardly in the door panel in a nasty heap, disgustingly enough) what finally got me was a simple bug bite that I stupidly picked and itched at, until it became painful and swollen. Dirty needles? Nope. This.

Which just goes to show you how lucky I have been, because truthfully, this could -and would- have been much worse had I not endeavored to improve my circumstances and stop using. I’ll be working on some additional content tonight, and will post sometime in the next day or so.

Thanks for following.
