That elbow thing?

[mcroft]

It's some sort of bacterial infection. I got the scare talk about it and a boatload of large-bore antibiotics. I am not permitted to go back to work without Doc Lev's say-so. I have to go back and see him tomorrow at 12:15

Product delivery date: 12:00 tomorrow. Not much I can do for the team.

And my elbow hurts.

Yikes! I hope you get sick days...

And I hope it (and you) feels better soon. An infection in a joint is No Fun.

What elbow thing?

[mcroft.livejournal.com]

The thing where it hurt a lot and was red and swollen. The thing that is not MRSA.

[greeneyes-rpi.livejournal.com]

Oh, that thing.

Good thing, eh?

[mcroft.livejournal.com]

The latter thing? yes.

Note to readers. Do not ignore bacterial infections, even if you're seeing Bjork.

You could put that on a Cafepress T-Shirt.

"PSA:
Do not ignore bacterial infections, even if you are seeing Bjork."

[greeneyes-rpi.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that thing.

The other thing, not so much good. More bad, I'd say.



Hey, can you officially be "the guy with the thing" now?

Just ordinary staph aureus, then?

Get well!

don't know. Hope so. Doctor Bedside-Manner said "It's not flesh-eating bacteria because your flesh isn't being eaten."

[drelmo.livejournal.com]

"red and swollen and hurts a lot" could be just about anything bacterial, I guess.

Yikesy! That sounds awful. Man, you and immlass are just getting hit with it right now, huh? I'm so glad you didn't try to venture into NYC on Friday. :)

You guys take care of each other, you hear? And see if you can get the cats to pitch in a bit, too.

Does that translate into big slobbery llama kisses?

YIKES!

Scary spot for that kind of infection. Those antibiotics ought to do you good. Did you get the freezing cold injection in the hip? When I had the cat bite that one really burned!
