While I was helping with hurricane clean up, I cut my leg open. The laceration was 14 inches starting above the ankle and went all the way to my knee cutting down to the bone. 127 stitches, half of them internal to put my calf muscle back together. 72 hours later, I removed the bandages to change them and found the flesh around some stitches had turned black. I started to feel like I was getting sick with a cold or flu symptoms. I made an appointment to go see the doctor about my leg and took medicine as instructed. I went to bed and woke up 5 days later in the hospital after suffering a major heart attack that night. I was informed that I had flesh eating bacteria infection at the wound site and it was spreading thru my body attacking my organs. For 3 weeks the doctor pumped multiple kinds of medications into me, family came by to visit me almost everyday. I made it thru the infection and another operation on my leg, then spent 3 weeks in recovery regaining my strength to come home.
Thank you @OhNo555 for reaching out and this awesome get well soon card.
I started a bunch of SourGrape F2’s and some PMD S1 for my next grow.
I switched to Full Spectrum Oil (AKA RSO) for my pain killer and sleep medication.
This isn’t how I wanted to spend my 5 years of OverGrow’n anniversary, butt… I’m happy to be alive! My wife and mother in-law and youngest daughter are making a celebration feast for the family coming over today. I’m back on my feet and using a cane to get around, going to sit in the garden and enjoy the day. Take care of yourself and I will do the same.
