Brock... Sorry to hear you were laid up, here's wishing you a speedy recovery... Lingering infection??? KEEP ON TOP OF THAT AND IF YOU RUN A FEVER GET YOUR ASS TO THE ER... COULD TURN TO SEPSIS... IT WILL KILL YOU.. Take that from someone that had it... Doctor told me I was very lucky they caught it when they did...

Yo, Rich! I’m at the James for an appointment. The nurse just told me one of the issues I had was that I was indeed septic. They used much larger wording than that previously so I had no idea what they were talking about.

Oh shit... Glad you got it cleared up and had no complications... So next time with you or any other family members that appear to have an infection or running a high fever ADDRESS SEPSIS WITH THE DOCTOR... Nothing to fool with... Now go get Masons girlfriend a buck...

I believe @Deersurgeon is in the medical field and can fill in everyone on how deadly Sepsis can be...

Wow, that's really bad Brock. You are fortunate to come out as you did.

I consider myself fortunate. When someone asks how I’m doing I generally say “Better than I deserve “…. And I mean it.

I believe @Deersurgeon is in the medical field and can fill in everyone on how deadly Sepsis can be...

Sepsis indeed can be life threatening just like a heart attack, stroke, or a major traumatic event. Time is life and prompt recognition of goal directed therapy is the mainstay of treatment with initiation of IV antibiotics, IV fluids, identification of source of infection with immediate treatment with surgery or other types of procedures if needed. In addition certain patients can be at increased risk for additional complications or possible mortality such as diabetics, elderly patients or patients with multiple pre-existing medical problems who already have compromise to their organs, in addition to patients on chemotherapy or immunomodulator agents.

sorry more than anyone probably wanted to hear and most important is not to delay presentation to a healthcare provider and not to delay treatment.

Brock you have my number and anyone else feel free to get ahold of me anytime if you have questions…always happy to help

Deersurgeon.. thanks...Hopefully you just opened up some members eyes to this deadly condition that I'm sure most don't know exists...
