BIG TOM Posted June 26, 2011 Share #1 Posted June 26, 2011 Have been feeling bad the last couple of days . Last night I thought I had the flu.....fever ,chills,then sweats...every bone in my body aches and I've been light headed...I had a terrible nights sleep.....got up this morning awaiting Rockets arrival...I looked down at my right arm and noticed a red line from my finger (which I scraped the other day) extent completely up my arm and into my armpit...It was bright red and hot to the touch..... well, I still didn't feel any better, in fact I felt worse than yesterday.........long story short....a call to my dr. was in order and he insisted that I go to the ER....He was right...looks like I have lymphangitis often called blood poisoning........to think a little scrape the size of a ladybug could cause me so much trouble....well, I have a scrip from the dr. and started taking the HORSE pills this afternoon....still waiting on ROCKET...HE IS VERY CLOSE...about 1 hr away...hope these pills work fast.............

Yammer Dan Posted June 26, 2011 Share #2 Posted June 26, 2011 Take care of it. I know all about those surprises. That one could be bad if not caught in time. LISTEN to the DOCS!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebird Posted June 26, 2011 Share #3 Posted June 26, 2011 Really sorry to hear it Tom. I'm always amazed at how simple things can sometimes cause such big problems. Hope the meds take hold fast and you get back to normal soon...well...as normal as you were before. In the meantime, if you have any bananas, they are supposed to be really good for whatever ails you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cecdoo Posted June 26, 2011 Share #8 Posted June 26, 2011 Thought maybe you contracted some rare "Icelandic" illness, but that blood poison is just as bad, listen to the Drs and take the meds. and a banana every 4 hrs:rasberry: Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mini-muffin Posted June 27, 2011 Share #13 Posted June 27, 2011 This isn't what you do to get a little off time Tom. Now you take good care of yourself. You'll need your strength for Rocket and Rod, I hear they do cause a lot of trouble. Margaret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAWildKat Posted June 27, 2011 Share #14 Posted June 27, 2011 First Dan, now you get sick Tom, you guys are going to make me grey before my time sheesh. Now that you're sick you can't come to Georgia and try down home cooking from me. Get plenty of rest and fluids and only 2 bananas a day mister, too much potassium from them can cause a heart attack.

Jayceesfolly Posted June 27, 2011 Share #21 Posted June 27, 2011 I would e-mail you a gallon of ice cream but, I am in Dayton, OH this week and I think it would melt by the time it got to you. So, I did the next best thing and ate it for you! I feel much better now! Ice cream works!!!!!!!! Get well soon, Tom. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 27, 2011 Share #23 Posted June 27, 2011 So is it the arm that you lift the ice cream spoon with? If so thats a real tragedy. Ill hoist a working cow ice cream cone tomorrow for ya. Hmmm, lets see, maple walnut in a waffle cone with chocolate sprinkles.... Hope you feel better soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saddlebum Posted June 27, 2011 Share #24 Posted June 27, 2011 You be careful big guy, these things are nothing to fool with. If the sore is still open it would not hurt to soak it in warm salt water as much as you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
