This is going to be a somewhat long story and let me tell you today was a very, very bad day. The wife went to bed looking fine, a slight rash and her temp had gone down some, when she woke up this morning she had a puss filled rash over her entire body, we hop in the car head to the emergency room, they look at it, immediately rush us both into an "isolation room" and everyone we see for the next hour or two is hazmat suits on, independantly respirated the works, they even bring a portable pisser in for us to **** in, they draw some blood, things are not looking good, after about 2 hours, they all come in, no hazmat suits, huge relief... an infection has run out of control in her body that more then likely started from one of her skin allergies, they admit her and start pumping her full of fluids and anti biotics, it's looks and is incredibly painful, they figure a minimum of 2 days, prolly 3. This could not have had worse timing let me tell you, my insurance ran out 11 days ago, we were set to start on new insurance Monday, 11 days without insurance and we are looking at a bankrupting hospital bill I am going through my coin collection now online, see what it is worth. I have my severence which I was hoping to live on for the next few months, but I gotta do what I gotta do. I'm sure the hospital will let us make payments and my Dad has already offered to help out, but he can only help so much and I hate to strap him for cash. At this point it is important she gets better, they have her in Critical Care now and I am hoping to see some signs of improvement tomorrow, she's in a ton of pain and can bairly eat solid foods cause her mouth has so many soars around it and on her face. I'll keep you posted, gonna have to call her office in the morning and let them know, i am just tapped from all of the **** that happened, it was very scary.

Thats fucked. I hope you guys can get through it ok.



We had a scare the other day with my disabled brother, he almost choked to death cos he inhaled his drink. My dad had to tip him upside down and ****, he wasn't breathing. Took like 5 minutes before he could breathe normally again. Very scary.

holy **** man, while I may not be a religious man, I believe in the golden rule, and you've treated everyone here (that I can see) pretty well, I hope your day, wife, week, bills, and parents all get through this ok, I'm sure none of the more veteran members (and less veteran members as well) won't let you go down in flames (Though I myself cannot even spare cash to buy gas, let alone help a hospital bill, though I would if I were capable).



Good luck man, let the universal law hit you square in the head, all the good you've thrown up has to come down soon.

Man, Scott that’s awful. I suck at writing things like this, so all im gonna say is that I hope everything goes well and she recovers as quickly as possible.



How about giving her a a big hug and a kiss and our best wishes from all of us here at np.com





If theres anything you might need, im sure a few of us will do as much as we could to help you out.
