im sure noone was sitting around saying "wheres nevin? :dizzy2: :confused:" lol. i havent posted anything in 2 weeks, even though i wanted to sooo badly, especially after a GREAT hamburg show. so any way ways the past week ive been laid up in the hospital with a leg problem. i started getting pains in my thigh on the way from from the hamburg show (go figure lol). i thought it was a pulled muscle, than the pain got really bad, and i went to the ER. being diabetic theyre main concern was a blood claught so they checked for that, and that came up neg. so i was sent home with a probable torn muscle and was told to see an orthoptist. he emediatly admitted me to the hospital seeing my leg was swollen and again being diabetic and after my brutal fight with MRSA last nov. they got an MRI and seen a decent size sac of fluid between the femur and muscle. because you cant tell the difference between fluids with an MRI (blood, puss, ect.) they had to do surgery. on sunday they went in for surgery, amazingly recovery took almost 4 times longer than the operation. they made 2 incisions and spread the muscles to see the bone and found NOTHING. they were like 90% sure before, and even after the surgery that it was MRSA. the theory is after some MAJOR intravenous antibiotics starting the previous thurs night that the infection was cleared up. so the good thing is they found nothing, but it just sucks how they had to do it. so now ill be at home for the next week spending plenty of time here with you guys, and finally posting all my pics from hamburg. heres a pic of what they did to me haha. the scar at the top right of my thigh is 1 of3 from last year when they had to go in and get those MRSA infections out.

Wow, I'm so glad to hear that you home and recovering. MRSA is scary stuff. A friend of ours got it at the hospital while he was there for a hand injury, they ended up having to do several surgeries before they got if under control. I guess the bright side is that you get to be here posting a lot now!

I'm glad you're okay, but that sucks they had to cut you to find nothing. Better to be safe then sorry I guess.

Nevin, good to have you back. Sorry to hear about your troubles. My bf is currently dealing with MRSA and is on IV's for another week to clear it up. He's been out of work for 3 weeks and just got the ok to head back on Monday. Hope you have a speedy recovery.
