Hang in there Gary..old age can be tricky, and I sure got a good lesson lately myself.

Wow!!! Hope you get well soon and sending prayers!!!

Those strains of bacteria keep getting stronger and stronger. From over prescribing antibiotics I believe!

That's exactly what both my specialists said when the couldn't I'D it right away. They know what it is now and are dialing in the meds. The problem we have now is finding the correct antibiotics that can also be given in pill form to get me out of here. Anyway every day is better
now and the redness is not as deep.
Can't wait to get back into the shop as I was just gettin into sanding out the deck of the Checkmate so I can
paint it , pull it off the hull and send it out to be wrapped at "Wicked Sticky " .
While the deck is away I will replace the transom and keel - floor structure.
Can ya tell I'm feelin better...lol

Wow. so sorry to read this Gary.

Have heard/seen similar, scary story.

Prayers comin ur way.

I dont deal well w/hospitsal stays and testing. Last time there I got fed up, peeled all the monitors off my chest and checked myself out.
The Mrs apologized to the nurse and followed me down the hall shaking her head.

Its also episodes like these that make us realize how much our hobbies are also therapy.

Get better, get home, get back in the shop!

Had to go to my mom in laws (where my wife is giving her hospice) so my wife can monitor me.
