Sign in to disble this ad
I woke up on the 1st of the month like 9am, went and made my wife breakfast before she started working. I was feeling fine. about an hour later my leg starts hurting and its swollen. I tell my wife she is like I think you got an infection on your leg, go to urgent care and get antibiotics. I was like well you finish working in a couple hours I will go when you finish. about an hour later I get a nasty pain in my groin. I mean crying pain. my wife drives me to urgent care and I'm in the waiting room for about 5 minutes and my body starts convulsing and shaking uncontrollably. I'm fully aware of everything going on though so its not a seizure or anything. The urgent care calls 911 they said i am in septic shock and my blood pressure was 30/25. they couldn't find a vein for an IV put in a picc-line to my arm artery to my heart (42mm line) for the IV. they start pumping 5 different types of antibiotics as well as some other stuff I'm not sure what it was. my calf swelled to 3 times its normal size (like my thigh's size) took 2 days to get my blood pressure back to 120/60 I was in ICU for 4 days then a regular room for for 4 more. Nurse told my wife if it was an hour later I wouldn't of woken up. turns out I had a strep b infection in my leg and I went sepsis. So i get out of the hospital beginning of this week and the next day I'm helping the wife with dinner and while washing the dishes I sliced the tip of my left index finger and had to get it dermabonded back on. and I'm back to work today but i cant lift anything with my left hand for 10 days. Anyways that was my last 2 weeks what about you guys LOL.

As for a dish washer we have one, I just get anal about dishes sitting around LOL.
