Gonna make it surgeries later.
They thought it was Staph it was Strep A Necrotic Fasciitis. I was doing evacuations and a power chair user was partially under water and they didn’t know how to free his chair restraints. I went in to help and felt a light scratch on my buttocks while I was getting his lap belt undone (typically we stay in our vans but I volunteered on this).
Went to the trailer to shower and it hurt there. The night was chills and fever and it got to be a baseball size lump under my buttock.
Went to the ER to lance it and got it drained they gave me bactrum for Staph.
Two days later of fever and chills had one of my employees drove me home to Texas for a better hospital and went to emergency surgery as it was near my rectum and the tunneling.
Two surgeries later I have a huge open wound no flesh but the wound culture came back with what to target and that worked. Had it got to my rectum my mortality chances would have gone up huge.
Now six weeks or so of healing these open chasms and praying it doesn’t come back or get infected. Should be okay (alive). But given the location and severity bed ridden a long time.

@Buttercup Checking in to say you are both thought of and cared about. Hope your healing is going well. Not sure if you’re in the storm areas, but hope you’re staying safe through those too if yes.
-
@Buttercup I salute you for doing a job I can’t do, and for injuries received in the line of duty. Deeply sorry it had to happen to you, but glad you’re on the mend. Hope the recovery is very swift and smooth, especially given how rocky the road thus far has been.

Never mind he asked me to not share it. Friend life was on fire, he asked me not to post it here as I did. So sorry.

Child has informed me that my therapy is stupid, but hers is essential. I don’t need therapy because I’m an adult, and she does need it because she’s a kid.
-
@junipersky Tell child that her therapist goes to therapy.
-
@junipersky She has no idea wtf she’s talking about because she’s a child. You don’t have to/probably shouldn’t tell her that, but you can hold it close to your heart and tell yourself that her opinion in this situation has no weight.

Kids are so funny.

Medical whining. It’s always medical whining with me:
The entire area around my right eye has felt like it’s pressurized for a year now, and that eye is sensitive to even mild flashing light. Nothing on bloodwork or MRI.If that weren’t enough, it still feels like daggers when I pee ever since they were in there to check if I had cysts. The procedure itself hurt me in some way, and that never went away either. Despite being ‘normal’ in every test.
Just me over here, being positively ‘normal’ to all tests, fucking again.
Can I just get something that has a tangible cause, and responds to treatment? I feel like my medical team thinks I’m making it up at this point.
If I hear ‘It’s probably just because of your anxiety’ one more time, I’ll throw a fucking brick. I can psychosomaticize a lot, but chronic pain isn’t one of those fucking things.
