Wow, Sundae. Very glad he didn't lose a finger (or two.) And after he just left the hospital a few days ago, too. Do you think this was just macho DIY and a lesson learned, or is the impaired decision-making a side effect of his recent neurological troubles? He's lucky to have such caring women in his life.
As for me, did I say I had severe flu? Apparently, I meant meningitis. Still waiting on official cultures to determine whether it's viral or bacterial, but they've already started the aggressive IV antibiotics, because if it's bacterial they can't afford to wait even a day. On the one hand, spinal tap says it's likely bacterial (low glucose, high protein,) but on the other, everyone's telling me that it just can't be bacterial, because after 5 days of it I should have been dead already. One nurse here told me I should go back to the two clinics that brushed me off earlier in the week, and threaten to sue until they comp my prior visit.
